No reason to imitate that, I think! The golden age had a set of limitations, which made it not optimal for dancers. Maybe much better than anything we have today, but still no reason to imitate everything.Andershttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10131068312626555901noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6796281929771777047.post-55777555215562567822014-02-11T13:43:08.179+02:002014-02-11T13:43:08.179+02:00Antti, I wonder if you favoured strict separation ...Antti, I wonder if you favoured strict separation when you were DJing from CDs in your early days. From what I've heard over the last two decades, I'd say separation mostly emerged in Europe in the late 2000s at the time of the influx of new DJs using laptops. My feeling is that separation is one of those things that comes less from what DJs and dancers hear in the music and more from what computer DJs see on their screen. Certainly screen data gives very undue emphasis to the singer.Chrishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08546555586986008873noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6796281929771777047.post-85876627646990177322014-02-11T11:14:35.870+02:002014-02-11T11:14:35.870+02:00Exactly.

We hear an instrumental or maybe two. A third tune starts with just the orchestra playing but then after an instrumental verse and chorus (about 1 min.) the perfectly dressed and coiffed cantor de orquesta steps out to sing a full verse. The surprise, the visual elegance and above all, the voice sweep us away. <br /><br />No reason not to imitate that in our own tandas!Charles Duncanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02937064562244110773noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6796281929771777047.post-51474836428132946202014-02-10T14:50:11.622+02:002014-02-10T14:50:11.622+02:00Thanks for that Antti.

For example, looking at a sample set of one of the best-know DJs there, I find half the tandas containing songs are mixed - usually two songs plus two instrumentals. It's such a tanda that's given as the example of how DJs played in the Golden Age, in this article <b><a href="http://bit.ly/Tandasatthemilonga" rel="nofollow">Tandas at the milonga</a></b>.<br />Chrishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08546555586986008873noreply@blogger.com
