Sorry for my absence and not updating the blog in a looong time. I have been very busy with starting my studies of cultural management and organizing the <a href="http://www.frostbite.tango.fi/" target="_blank">Tango Frostbite festival in Helsinki</a>. Now the festival is done and I thought I'd celebrate it also with a new blog post!<br />
<br />
This is a tanda I've been playing on a few occasions since a long time. You could say it's one of those "secret tandas" that the DJ is not too eager to share with others, but I think it's time to give Alfredo Attadia recognition for these two great recordings featured in the tanda.<br />
<br />
The more common options to play with "Mi Dolor" from De Angelis are "<a href="https://tango.info/work.pavadita">Pavadita</a>", "<a href="https://tango.info/work.caminito">Caminito</a>", "<a href="https://tango.info/work.el_choclo">El choclo</a>", "<a href="https://tango.info/work.el_once_a_divertirse">El Once (A divertirse)</a>" and possibly "<a href="https://tango.info/work.el_amanecer">El amanecer</a>", all of which I added in the <a href="https://open.spotify.com/user/anttiveikko/playlist/7wvaqg4fqGysliKGR7SSHW" target="_blank">Spotify playlist</a> for you to listen to. <br />
<br />
I am not a great fan of De Angelis and these 50s instrumentals get a bit heavy and tiresome for me personally, and often find myself losing inspiration halfway a tanda of such songs. I found that I can mix in these two songs from Attadia, which are not as over the top, but still have similar qualities to De Angelis. The songs have a clear strong beat and you could say Attadia sounds like a more minimalistic version of De Angelis... These are also some of the only good quality instrumentals available
from Alfredo Attadia to us mere mortals. I have seen some Japanese CDs
of more recordings from the orchestra, but have failed to get one myself
so far.<br />
<br />
All the best,<br />
<br />
Antti Suniala<br />

<b>Welcome to "Tanda of the Week"!</b> A tanda of tango music will be uploaded on the blog once a week for your listening and dancing pleasure.

I was scrolling through the D'Arienzo discography and was flirting with the idea of playing something like "Milonga que peina canas" (<a href="https://open.spotify.com/track/7cz0A8A4P0o1CHeerqwUOB" target="_blank">Spotify</a>) but ended up going all instrumental. Unfortunately there are not many great instrumental milonga recordings from D'Arienzo but I felt like this tanda went down great and was nicely refreshing. <br />
<br />
Enjoy!<br />

"The other Tanturi instrumentals" ---- <br />

The release has 16 songs and a few that many of us have surely been looking for in good quality for a while now. Please remember that while listening to the tanda you only have the best quality versions I was able to find on Spotify or Deezer. Be sure to listen to the samples provided on TangoTunes for all the songs.<br />
<br />
We're more accustomed to hearing the Tanturi's uptempo instrumentals like the songs in<a href="http://tandaoftheweek.blogspot.fi/2013/08/tanda-of-week-18-2013-ricardo-tanturi.html" target="_blank"> this Tanturi instrumental tanda</a> but his mix of melody and rhythm works well in the down/midtempo range as well. Tanturi recorded the Pugliese classic "Recuerdo" a few years before Osvaldo himself, and while it's not quite the match for Puglieses recording, there's nothing wrong in Tanturi's arrangement of this fine song. "Entre sueños" is a bit of a strange one and you can see how you like it in comparison to the vocal version of Miguel Caló and Raúl Berón. "La huella" is more rhythmical but has enough of melody to make it fit the tanda and my favorite "Mariposita" finishes the rather smooth tanda.<br />
<br />
No fireworks but everything works. Probably best played early on in the milonga.<br />
<br />
Between these and the "Comparsa Criolla"'s there's a mix of more rhythmical midtempo tracks like "Adios pueblo" and "Lagrimas" which are definitely worth checking out too.<br />
<br />
Enjoy!<br />

He's a part of the amazing team organizing the monthly Loca milonga in Berlin. Here's what he had to say about the tanda:<br />
<br />
<a href="http://www.deezer.com/playlist/1649956961" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;" target="_blank"><img alt="http://www.deezer.com/playlist/1649956961" border="0" src="https://2.bp.blogspot.com/-CF1UvV7MxrM/Ui8G4Z3G-4I/AAAAAAAACZc/F4bCqKOw7ls/s1600/deezer.png" /></a>"<span class="_5yl5">Very well, here we have a very powerful tanda. Would I use these songs at any time? Of course not. But at the right moment, with the right people on the dance floor, this is a blast! </span><br />
<br />
<span class="_5yl5"> It starts with a shock. “Este es el rey” is a very peculiar and a very powerful song. Therefore I would suggest to "announce it" with a fitting high energy cortina, maybe not Norah Jones or Jeff Buckley.
“Sentimiento Gaucho” is a very wellknown song, played also by many other orquestas, such as Canaro, Lomuto, Biagi, Racciatti, Varela and so on. Still powerful. The bandoneons rock, but there are also nice violins, voice and some piano 'easter eggs' to dance on.
“Inspiracion”. Same thing, but instrumental. Very well known song played by many orchestras. Powerful, but still danceable. And also here, I love the piano 'easter eggs'. A light variation close to the end, getting ready for the last piece. </span><br />
<br />
<span class="_5yl5">Did I say it starts with a shock? It ends with a boom! “Mi dolor”, particularly this version, is one of the best tango songs ever! It's a matter of taste, but I'm really sure I'm not alone here, am I? Here I really don't need to say anything else. Power, beautiful voice and a crazy variation. It's fun, really.
The overall mood and atmosphere of the tanda stays the same. I don't use it as a rule, in fact I don't have many rules, but changing abruptly the mood of a tanda doesn't make much sense for me. The third song leaves some space for a breath, here and there. And, at least regarding the songs with singer, we have the same theme. You know, a man was in love with a woman, this woman betrayed him, now he is suffering, he wants to forget her but he can't, and he would like to have her back. Well, it's not very original, but still."</span><br />
<br />
<span class="_5yl5">Thank you Francesco!</span><br />
<br />
<span class="_5yl5">Unfortunately the correct version of "Mi dolor" wasn't available on Spotify or Deezer (at least in Finland) so I had to replace the song with another version, which also has Osvaldo Ramos singing, but the version packs way less punch than the 1972 version with D'Arienzo.</span><br />

Greetings! It's been a long time since my last post and a lot has happened for me during that time.

I'm especially looking forward to returning to Singapore again in the end of April for the first edition of the Singapore Tango Marathon! Also the hottest marathon of all - Tangosauna - is happening in June again and I have the honor of playing there for the third time! Here are some of my tour dates:</div>

</div>
</div>
<a href="http://www.tangotunes.com/san-pugliese-osvaldo-pugliese-1943-1945.html" target="_blank">The "San Pugliese" compilation</a> features 42 songs from Pugliese's first recordings in 1943-1945 in chronological order, both instrumentals and vocal songs with the singers Roberto Chanel and Alberto Morán. TangoTunes has done an amazing job in digitalizing the songs from original shellacs and I would highly recommend getting the compilation - or buy songs individually.<br />
<br />
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
For this tanda I chose the more nostalgic songs with the singer Roberto Chanel. Enjoy!</div>

I figured that playing the great Pugliese version of the Astor Piazzolla classic <a href="https://open.spotify.com/track/5bnXHn9hmRgL2zrubdcM73" target="_blank">"Verano porteño" (Spotify</a>/<a href="http://www.deezer.com/track/10006946?utm_source=deezer&utm_content=track-10006946&utm_term=329957061_1447783129&utm_medium=web" target="_blank">Deezer</a>)
would work well for the crowd. Although it's not one of Pugliese's best
known or most popular recordings, the orchestra does a great job in,
somewhat ironically, toning down the original composition into an
arrangement that ends up being very danceable.<br />
<br />
The rest of the tanda is put together from some of the biggest songs from the Pugliese instrumental discography. What I find interesting is that this tanda goes the unusual way in starting from the later recordings and going back in time towards the end. I didn't want to remain in the 60's recordings for the whole tanda and I also wanted to finish with a relatively clear structured song. Usually there's a huge change in the dynamics and quality of the songs when playing music from almost a 20 year time frame, but the 1948 "Patético" holds it's own remarkably well, due to strenght of the song itself (seriously.... this is one of absolute favorites) but also somehow being of great quality in comparison to some other songs from that time period. When I played the tanda I also made sure to have a long enough gap in between the songs and turn up the volume and bass a bit for the first moments of "Patético" to hide any differences in the sound qualities.<br />
<br />
The tanda worked wonderfully well both in Berlin and in Schwerin, where this tanda was applauded.<br />
<br />
If you (or even if you don't) like the earlier 40's Pugliese better then I recommend checking out <a href="http://tandaoftheweek.blogspot.fi/2011/03/tanda-of-week-11-2011-osvaldo-pugliese.html" target="_blank">the tanda with Roberto Chanel as the singer</a>. I have put quite many Pugliese tandas on the blog but clearly there's still plenty of room for a lot more. I think I'll focus more on the earlier 40's instrumentals (which I play in every milonga) the next time. <br />
<br />
Enjoy!<br />

Varela's "Paciencia" was published interestingly a month and a half later than D'Arienzo himself had released the song with Alberto Echague. In many cases it seems like every orchestra in the 1950's had to have their own version of a big hit such as this one.<br />
<br />
Varela, who himself played in <a href="http://www.loksze.com/thoughts/wp-content/uploads/2011/06/origianltable.jpg" target="_blank">D'Arienzos orchestra</a> previously, continued the strong rhythmical style of his mentor but also made it his own. I've never been a fan of the 1950's recordings from D'Arienzo with Echague even though I absolutely love most of the D'Arienzo instrumental recordings from that time period. The singing of Rodolfo Lesica is a lot more pleasing to my ear in this version and the orchestra plays nicely restrained in comparison to some of the other Varela recordings.<br />
<br />
"Paciencia" was of course recorded by <a href="https://open.spotify.com/track/3fze5kwtMURIgTxcRl9tZq" target="_blank">D'Arienzo with Enrique Carbel</a> already in 1937, and this version is my favorite. Some might also like the version of <a href="https://open.spotify.com/track/4Lr6Qr2oKXp9Go4imc8J3S" target="_blank">Francisco Canaro with Roberto Maida</a>.<br />
<br />
-----<br />
<br />
Now about the tanda. For a few reasons, it was very difficult to put this tanda together. Mainly because of the rather limited number of recordings from Varela with Lesica and also because a lot of them really are not on the level of "Paciencia". So I wanted to start the tanda with one of the most known songs from Varela "Historia de un amor", which is pretty much a pop hit of it's time as it was recorded by many non-tango orchestras as well all the way from Argentina to Finland. Also because Varela is disliked by some dancers, I want to have a very recognizable song first so it's an easy to choice for the dancers to go dance or go for some fresh air.<br />
<br />
I wanted to continue with another hit song in "Y todavia te quiero" (also recorded by <a href="https://open.spotify.com/track/2Wt9ckGqdIZoylzJH6zpWl" target="_blank">Di Sarli</a>, <a href="https://open.spotify.com/track/6SbzW03249BT7Mo2dqV1Pw" target="_blank">Pugliese</a> and <a href="https://open.spotify.com/track/5D2JAitKcMepHr2T0NPjkC" target="_blank">D'Arienzo</a>). These two songs probably are the best known songs from Varela/Lesica. The third one is in my opinion another excellent version of a big song - "El bulín de la calle Ayacucho" was recorded by <a href="https://open.spotify.com/track/4AOtecRyBP9Q1fJm0eRYh9" target="_blank">Troilo/Fiorentino in 1941</a> and is one of the most popular songs in the Troilo discography. I think Varela's version is very nice although I feel that the songs comes to a very sudden end and I like the arrangement of Troilo better. <br />
<br />
So the tanda has the two big hits from Varela followed by two Varela's versions of big tango classics. Notice the recording dates and slight difference in sound/recording quality going from the second to the third song. DJ's might want to boost the volume at least temporarily a bit for "El bulín..." to make up for the difference.<br />
<br />
I could've looked for a more consistent style and energy by using more songs from the 1951-1953 recordings of Varela, but like I said it was impossible to find songs that would've been of the same quality of (meaning as good as) "Paciencia". So even though there's some fairly clear difference in the styles of the first two and the last two songs in this tanda, I believe that having four strong songs with less consistency is better than a tanda of weaker songs with more consistency.<br />
<br />
Enjoy!<br />

My jaw literally dropped to the floor at the soundcheck from the very first notes of "Este es el Rey" and the hottest orchestra of today proved to be worthy of all the hype behind them and exceeded all my expectations. You could see such joy and euphoria on the faces of the dancers as they joined in the hurricane of rhythm as if the king of the compas - Juan D'Arienzo - himself had been there in flesh.<br />
<br />
And this was really as good, and as close to the real thing, as it gets. The La Juan D'Arienzo is obviously a tribute orchestra that executes flawlessly the style of Juan D'Arienzo's 1950's to 1970's rhythmical "overdrive tango". I can appreciate <a href="https://www.facebook.com/orquesta.tipicasanssouci" target="_blank">Sans Souci</a>'s repertoire of Miguel Caló and I have heard <a href="https://www.facebook.com/orquesta.color.tango" target="_blank">Color Tango</a> live with their repertoire of Pugliese and others, as well as <a href="https://www.facebook.com/Misteriosabis" target="_blank">Misteriosa Buenos Aires</a> and their powerful and beautiful Di Sarliesque set, but I dare to say that no other orchestra has accomplished capturing the style of their idols so perfectly as La Juan D'Arienzo. Well let's not forget <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LqbQUGFO4XA" target="_blank">Los Reys del Tango</a>, which I have also heard live but with a smaller line up. And of course there's no denying that <a href="https://www.facebook.com/SoloTangoOrquesta" target="_blank">Solo Tango</a> is amazing and they perform a lot of D'Arienzo - but there's only so much you can accomplish with a cuartet. It is a unique occasion to hear a full "orquesta típica" of such musicians in Europe and the difference in sound and quality is huge.<br />
<br />
If there's one thing more I could've asked for, then yes, I would've loved to hear something from the earlier D'Arienzo repertoire, with the perhaps more subtle and sophisticated overdrive of the earlier years... but the orchestra had us mesmerized completely with their two sets, that came up to a massive total of 24 songs, and there was no fatique in neither the orchestra or the dancers. The orchestra members also proved to be not only great musicians, but also great entertainers, as they kept a very high energy stage-presence throughout the concert.<br />
<br />
Unfortunately there is no way that their recordings could come even close to the energy of their live sets, but still you can hear the talent and passion that has been put into their music. The orchestra is currently on their first European tour and I sincerely hope all the success in the world for them and that I will have plenty of chances to hear them live again. Check their tour photo below and if you have a chance to go see them live then that should be your top priority in life from now on.<br />
<br />
For the most update information on the orchestra and their tour I recommend checking out the <a href="https://www.facebook.com/lajuan.darienzo" target="_blank">Facebook page of La Juan D'Arienzo</a>. Their album <a href="https://open.spotify.com/album/3sEet8TyH27TWpUL8cwa28" target="_blank">"Cortando clavos" is available on Spotify</a>, <a href="http://www.deezer.com/album/8767555" target="_blank">Deezer </a>and is sold at least in the <a href="https://itunes.apple.com/fi/album/cortando-clavos/id923623382" target="_blank">iTunes Store</a>. <br />

I have the pleasure of DJ'ing at the grand milonga/concert of the <a href="http://www.maailmantango.net/site/" target="_blank">World of Tango Festival</a> the coming Saturday! The festival has an amazing line up of great tango orchestras and DJ's as well! It will be an honor to "share the stage" with the orchestra <a href="http://www.lajuandarienzo.com/" target="_blank">La Juan D'Arienzo</a>, one of the hottest tango orchestras of today following the style of Juan D'Arienzo (1900-1976). <br />

Then again, after five years of tandas I can't be very sure anymore. Which reminds me of the task of updating the tags for artists and styles. I'll start using tags like "D'Arienzo - Vals" and "D'Arienzo - Instrumental tango" from now on. I hope it helps with navigation of the site and finding what you might be looking for.<br />

I see myself as a very diverse DJ, being able to play light and dynamic music, keeping high and flowing energy, or creating more sophisticated and calm atmosphere depending on the dancers need. <br />
<br />
My first education (MA) was in the field of history of XX century culture, so I could continue my research when arrived to tango, and it allows me to bring you a lot of lesser known danceable music.<br />
<br />
A part of my style is introducing a new danceable music from the end of twenties to the middle of fifties.
Please, pay attention: the keyword is 'danceable', not 'new'".<br />

I played this tanda last Sunday and I thought it came out really good. It's a mix of songs that are difficult to fit into tandas of equally great songs from the same orchestra; the only exception possibly being Biagi's "El recodo", but even then you would fall short in my opinion. I wouldn't say the other three songs in this tanda are such classics as "El recodo" but they are definitely some of the best the individual orchestras have in their discography and top notch songs that all have very high energy without being overly uptempo and also great bandoneon variaciones to finish the songs off. Also Polito's "El internado" is one of the few songs available to mere mortals in high quality.<br />
<br />
Juan Polito (<a href="http://www.todotango.com/english/artists/biography/942/Juan-Polito/" target="_blank">read the biography at Todotango.com</a>) played in D'Arienzo's orchestra on two time periods and "El internado" is indeed very D'Arienzoesque. Still the arrangement is slightly different and the great pianist gets to showcase his skills in wonderful fashion.<br />
<br />Enjoy!<br />

<br />
Five years ago I started my blog Tanda of the Week with the simple idea of sharing my love for tango music with the world, and while at it, sharing some thoughts about what makes tango music so great and how to construct good tandas. I was still a beginner DJ (when it came to tango music) and I had no idea that the blog would become this popular or that I'd be still doing this after five years! <br />
<br />
The last years have been quite a ride for me as a DJ and I've had the pleasure and privilige to DJ in some of the most prestige milongas and festivals around the world and will keep doing so hopefully for many years to come! I'd like to thank all of the DJ's who have helped me with the blog by sharing their
guest DJ tandas and of course all of my readers for your comments, likes, shares and recommendations. You have all been irreplaceable.<br />
<br />
I had to take a break for some summer holidays and my gigs/trips to the wonderful Tango d'Amore festival in Odessa, Ukraine and the High Noon marathon in Berlin, Germany, but now the blog and weekly tandas are back stronger than ever. There's still so much of beautiful music to share with all of you.<br />
<br />
Un abrazo,<br />

The fine folk at TangoTunes have released two compilations of freshly digitized shellacs from none other than Ricardo Tanturi with the singer Enrique Campos. The <a href="http://www.tangotunes.com/ricardo-tanturi-con-enrique-campos-01.html" target="_blank">first compilation</a>, contains 32 songs from 1943-1944, and the <a href="http://www.tangotunes.com/orquestas/ricardo-tanturi/ricardo-tanturi-con-enrique-campos-02.html" target="_blank">second compilation</a> has 21 songs from 1945 to 1946, and this makes for the entire catalog of 53 recordings of Ricardo Tanturi together with the singer Enrique Campos, valses, milongas and duets with Roberto Videla included.<br />
<br />
Some of Tanturi's songs have been very difficult to get in good quality, and for some reason many of the songs have been cursed with a lot of reverb, which had been artificially added at some point by the record companies. So it's amazing to have these songs in their original form, straight from the shellacs, in the way they were supposed to sound like. So please have a listen to the samples provided at the TangoTunes store. The Spotify and Deezer playlists I am able to provide for you to listen to these songs <u>do not</u> contain the releases of TangoTunes.<br />
<br />
The tanda itself contains one of the most popular songs from Tanturi/Campos: "Calla bandoneón" from 1944. I see a story develop throughout the tanda as the singer goes through different phases of misery and loss as the bandoneon gently weeps. "Iqual que un bandoneón" would've been a great song for the tanda as well, but I was unable to find it on Spotify.<br />
<br />
Enjoy! <br />

There are also clear differences between different time periods (the uptempo 1937-1941 and the lower tempo 1942+) as well as between the singers of the orchestra, of which of course the real and possibly only star was Alberto Podestá.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
However the singer Carlos Bermúdez seems like a perfect match in the orchestra of Laurenz. Take for example the amazing "Me están sobrando las penas" and all it's fine details and sophisticated complexity completed by the vocals of Bermúdez.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
These songs might require the late night hours and dimmed lights and dancers willing to go deep into this special mood but the challenge brings great rewards!</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">

<div style="text-align: left;">
Enjoy!</div>

Let me explain....<br />
<a href="http://www.deezer.com/playlist/1281584595" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;" target="_blank"><img alt="http://www.deezer.com/playlist/1281584595" border="0" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-CF1UvV7MxrM/Ui8G4Z3G-4I/AAAAAAAACZc/F4bCqKOw7ls/s1600/deezer.png" /></a><br />
The very classic, common, ideal and almost ultimate structure for a tango can be heard especially in many songs from the earlier 1940's. It's a very balanced structure with a clear progression and ending. Listen to "<a href="https://tango.info/T0370214622" target="_blank">Vamos!</a>" (<a href="https://open.spotify.com/track/1jTNePsKleerAElavsmyqu" target="_blank">Spotify</a> - <a href="http://www.deezer.com/track/13097819?utm_source=deezer&utm_content=track-13097819&utm_term=329957061_1435177022&utm_medium=web" target="_blank">Deezer</a>) by Carlos Di Sarli with Alberto Podesta and follow the picture below. <br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-19hH5RClqO0/VYsdymRXstI/AAAAAAAACvg/ZkIaNb91z5M/s1600/vamos.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-19hH5RClqO0/VYsdymRXstI/AAAAAAAACvg/ZkIaNb91z5M/s1600/vamos.jpg" /></a></div>
<br />
The colored blocks mark parts of the composition - main part 1 and 2 - chorus part 1 and 2... Listen carefully for the melody and how the orchestra plays. Within the first minute you will hear basically everything that the orchestra plays in the song as it is repeated again although now with the singer joining in. You will notice that - for example - all the orange blocks (at 0:31, 1:35 and 2:08) representing the first chorus part are all identical although the second one has the vocals. Why I call it the chorus part is for the fact that it is repeated again in the very ending after the vocal part at 2:08... first half instrumental (orange) and second half vocal (red).<br />
<br />
This is a very common structure. Sometimes the last two chorus blocks would be both instrumental. Sometimes there's more variation in how the orchestra plays the part but the "blocks" are arranged the same. Understanding this gives us a lot of tools to understand the common structures of tango songs and predict what's ahead, even if we didn't know the song that well.<br />
<br />
So basically in this style of arrangement the chorus is played three times - first instrumental, second vocal and third is most commonly a mix of instrumental and vocal . The fact that right after the second chorus (vocal) the song repeats and goes into the third chorus works as the finale, tells us that the song is wrapping up and we should get ready for the end as the theme and melody is repeated for us once more. Sometimes with a bandoneon or violin solo (variacion). Sometimes without them.<br />
<br />
This is not the arrangement always. Not even in the 40's. But it is a common arrangement for a vocal song. One of the fundamental changes in the arrangements through time has been of course the part of the singer. In the early 30's the singer often sang only a small refrain in the end of the song while in the later 50's the singer would often engulf almost the entire song.<br />
<br />
But this structure at hand gives a great satisfied and fulfilled feeling. There is nothing too much and nothing is left out. With this structure and a midtempo tango you would have a song that is around 2:30-2:50 in lenght. Right away, if I notice that a song is less than that or more than that, I will know that there's probably something different about the structure and arrangement. Take the two Di Sarli versions of "Fumando espero" for example, both recorded one month apart in early 1956: <br />
<br />
<a href="https://tango.info/CayetDisar">Carlos Di Sarli</a> / <a href="https://tango.info/CorazLedes">Argentino Ledesma</a> - "<a href="https://tango.info/T0410004986" target="_blank">Fumando espero</a>" 4:02 <a href="https://open.spotify.com/track/633hLI1t1ngsBPwDnOpnXU" target="_blank">Spotify</a> - <a href="http://www.deezer.com/track/6825194?utm_source=deezer&utm_content=track-6825194&utm_term=329957061_1435176927&utm_medium=web" target="_blank">Deezer</a><br />
<a href="https://tango.info/CayetDisar">Carlos Di Sarli</a> / <a href="https://tango.info/RoberFlori">Roberto Florio</a> - "<a href="https://tango.info/T0410004986" target="_blank">Fumando espero</a>" 1:53 <a href="https://open.spotify.com/track/6bGfC7OJAtPVF010V8KE1f" target="_blank">Spotify</a> - <a href="http://www.deezer.com/track/14838509?utm_source=deezer&utm_content=track-14838509&utm_term=329957061_1435176982&utm_medium=web" target="_blank">Deezer</a><br />
<br />
The version with Argentino Ledesma is a whopping four minutes long, while the version with Roberto Florio is less than two minutes! The first one seems like it never ends while the second one feels like it was cut way too short. A lot better arrangement in that sense of the same songs is the following one:<br />
<br />
<a href="https://tango.info/SalusVarel">Héctor Varela</a> / <a href="https://tango.info/CorazLedes">Argentino Ledesma</a> - "<a href="https://tango.info/T0410004986" target="_blank">Fumando espero</a>" 3:17 <a href="https://open.spotify.com/track/323OBpFePtt5dJ7mImuJjz" target="_blank">Spotify</a> - <a href="http://www.deezer.com/track/6686248?utm_source=deezer&utm_content=track-6686248&utm_term=329957061_1435176908&utm_medium=web" target="_blank">Deezer</a><br />
<br />
--<br />
<br />
Now when we look at this weeks tanda... you can compare the song arrangements to the example of "Vamos!"....<br />
<br />
...and you will notice that the third song "<a href="https://tango.info/work.manana_no_estaras">Mañana no estarás</a>" is arranged differently from the others. The song is only two minutes and 18 seconds long so something is probably missing?!? Let's look into it. Yes... it starts the same with the main and chorus parts played as instrumental and then followed by the vocal version of the same parts... but once we get to the end of the vocal part there is no more repetition of the chorus! The repetition is missing! I feel cheated... empty... I was still saving my grande passion for the final part which never came. The song basically comes to a stop already before two minutes is up. Sigh. <br />
<br />
Not only does the song feel like it's missing something, because of this missing part it stands out in a slightly negative way from the other songs. Not the end of the world of course but you know the feeling of confusion on the floor when everyone is like: "wow, I didn't think the song would end already".<br />
<br />
Another similar song from Di Sarli with Durán is the beautiful "<a href="https://tango.info/work.tus_labios_me_diran">Tus labios me dirán</a>" (<a href="https://open.spotify.com/track/1c8cta9IXHoQcPGOXIz1y6" target="_blank">Spotify</a> - <a href="http://www.deezer.com/track/7528676?utm_source=deezer&utm_content=track-7528676&utm_term=329957061_1435176881&utm_medium=web" target="_blank">Deezer</a>), which I'd love to play seven times a night but I always feel like it ends too soon. It's such a beautiful song but the arrangement could be better.<br />
<br />
----<br />
<br />
So when creating tandas or choosing songs I want to play, I always pay close attention to the structure and arrangement of the songs. If I want to play a song that has an arrangement that is cut short.... then I at least have to be aware of it and make it work.<br />
<br />
To give an example of how it does <u>not</u> work.... I once heard the very short Di Sarli/Florio version of "Fumando espero" played as the very first song of the tanda. By the time the dancers got on the floor and got comfortable and ready to do their thing... the song already finished!<br />
<br />
----<br />
<br />
Thanks for reading and have a great week!<br />

I finished my set a few hours ago and after dinner, sauna and swimming I have now enough time to post this weeks tanda! TangoTunes.com has released yet another compilation from D'Arienzo, the<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-weight: normal;"> <a href="http://www.tangotunes.com/juan-darienzo-1935-1939-vol-5-golden-ear-edition.html" target="_blank">Juan D'Arienzo 1935-1939, Vol 5, Golden Ear Edition</a></span></span>, which I received just before my set and from those songs I played this tanda of some of the biggest classics from D'Arienzo. When you listen to the samples on the webstore I'm sure you will notice how downtempo the songs are in comparison to most of the previous releases of these songs. In fact, because of this I made the songs just a bit faster (+1/+2%) with my Traktor Pro software, although without changing the pitch of the songs. I think it might take a while to get used to the correct speed of these songs.<br />
<br />
Enjoy!<br />
<br />
P.S. if you're a marathon organizer and would like to view or listen to the playlist of my set.... send me a message to dj@anttisuniala.com.<br />

<br />
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-weight: normal;">I like to play these songs and tandas similar to this in the earlier part of the set and save some D'Arienzos that hit harder for a bit later.

<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-weight: normal;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-weight: normal;">Please notice that the Spotify and Deezer playlists I provide <u>do not</u> include the same versions of the songs, as all the TangoTunes.com releases are exclusive. And especially in this case it was impossible to find good quality versions of some of the songs available online. Some of the songs are too fast and/or have a lot of reverb. So for direct comparison in quality, remember to also listen to the songs on the TangoTunes links provided above. And get your copies now!</span></span><br />

<br />
The following is based on a true story and no names have been changed... I did the unthinkable and played at an alternative milonga!<br />
<br />
Another announcement is that I have recently moved from Berlin back to Finland and it is Helsinki where this story takes place.<br />
<br />
Our <a href="https://www.facebook.com/AmigosDelTangory?fref=ts" target="_blank">tango association "Amigos del Tango"</a> has two weekly milongas at our <a href="https://www.facebook.com/elaticohelsinki?fref=ts" target="_blank">dance studio "El Atico" </a>in Helsinki, and a while back the second milonga was changed to an alternative one. The "El Huracan" milonga is 70% traditional and 30% alternative and I took on the challenge to play there last Sunday. For some obvious reasons of being a full time artist (yes, a beautiful mix of a dancer's servant and an artist with a personality... among the other artforms and things I'm involved in) and not having the luxury to afford to always choose where I play, meaning - I need the money. As well as having the luxury of being a strange mix of a hard core traditionalist and an occasionally open minded human being and therefore deciding that with great pleasure I will play for this milonga and the dancers there. Let me explain....<br />
<br />
I have been a DJ for 20 years now and <a name='more'></a>have played in all kinds of events from the tiny hip hop clubs to some massive Reclaim the Streets! parties to the tiny local practicas to the grande festival grande milongas. So I have been trying to make all kinds of people dance in all kinds of events and this is where I'm coming from. When it comes to tango I really know what I like and what inspires me to dance and I also uphold my style and status as a fairly conservative DJ of traditional tango music. Please do check out <a href="http://tandaoftheweek.blogspot.fi/search/label/favorite" target="_blank">my favorite tandas on TOTW</a> when in doubt.<br />
<br />
Alternative tango definitely is not my thing. Like, at all. I'd rather go to the dentist or a blind date at a German swingers club than an alternative milonga. Even so I don't see anything wrong with people wanting to dance. And that's how I see the alternative milongas... not really as milongas but rather as dance parties. And with my history as a DJ of many types of music and not just traditional tango, I can enjoy the task and challenge given to me to make people dance.<br />
<br />
My real problem with alternative tango music - whether it's nuevo tango, electronic tango or something really alternative - is that often, in my opinion, it just is not really good music. Like what I always say about electronic tango is that it is definitely not good tango but it's not even good electronic music (a genre of which I do know quite a lot about), so what's the point?! With nuevo tango you have to look at how well the arrangements actually are suitable for dancing. And.... what kind of seems to be at the core of and definition of alternative tango is some very light music like <a href="https://open.spotify.com/track/5A3oOLjrYvOerhRo7ZdYUc" target="_blank">Kevin Johansen f. Leon Ciego - "Sur o no sur" (Spotify</a>/<a href="http://www.deezer.com/track/13704678?utm_source=deezer&utm_content=track-13704678&utm_term=329957061_1432634092&utm_medium=web" target="_blank">Deezer</a>), which makes me feel like.... like I was in a nightmare where the only tango orchestra ever played was Donato and the only jazz was 80's smooth groove jazz etc.... I might fail to see the richness and subtle differences in the
qualities of the most popular alternative tangos and I'll admit it's
obvious that in the end I might not know what I'm talking about since I really do
not go to alternative milongas. But, my point is, that if I would want to dance or even listen to alternative tango it should have most of the qualities and emotions that make tango music so freaking amazing! With that criteria I'd personally give "Sur o no sur" 1 point out of 10. <br />
<br />
Therefore.... my approach to my set was to play only alternative tango that I could enjoy and respect even if I wouldn't want to dance to them. So I made the choice to ignore what I believe to be what some dancers would expect to hear and just went with music that was as close to tango or even traditional tango as possible. I went with my belief that <u>alternative tango could be described largely as tango music which you would not normally play in a traditional milonga</u> and therefore I played for example <a href="http://tandaoftheweek.blogspot.fi/2014/10/tanda-of-week-43-2014-ariel-ardit.html" target="_blank">this tanda of Ariel Ardit</a> and was considering to play <a href="http://tandaoftheweek.blogspot.fi/2013/06/tanda-of-week-11-2013-quinteto-real.html" target="_blank">this tanda from Quinteto Real</a> or <a href="http://tandaoftheweek.blogspot.fi/2014/01/tanda-of-week-04-2014-octeto-tibidabo.html" target="_blank">something from Octeto Tibidabo</a>. In the four hour milonga I played one alternative balkanesque vals tanda (which I made faster with my Traktor DJ software to make it more danceable), one alternative milonga tanda of Miguel Villasboas, the above mentioned Ariel Ardit tanda, one very improvised tanda of mixed alternatives ranging from balkan tango to "All mine" from Portishead (which captures similar pain, misery and beauty as tango in my opinion) and then a tanda from the following orchestra:<br />

<br />
Tango Pohjan Tähden is an orchestra from Minneapolis, USA, with roots to Finland and finnish tango. Here's what was said on their website.<br />
<br />
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
<i>"Tango Pohjan Tähden released its <a href="https://tangopohjanthden.bandcamp.com/" target="_blank">debut album in 2013</a>, featuring pianist
Timo Alakotila, who is one of Finland's most versatile and in-demand
composers and arrangers. Tango Pohjan Tähden and Timo Alakotila have
mixed traditional Finnish tangos with Argentine tango nuevo and American
jazz to create a new sound, but the soul of Finnish Tango is never far
under the surface of these new arrangements. The album features eight
traditional tangos and waltzes by Finnish composers such as Unto Mononen
and Toivo Kärki, as well as four original compositions by the group,
all of which are perfect for dancing and listening alike! "</i></blockquote>
<br />
<a href="https://3.bp.blogspot.com/-RC4ttUE-XD4/T_88j1xn3GI/AAAAAAAACUY/w_LGtAhFh3A/s1600/spotifylisten.gif" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="https://open.spotify.com/user/anttiveikko/playlist/6CUrsvalLFHCkqQnGle9bV" border="0" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-RC4ttUE-XD4/T_88j1xn3GI/AAAAAAAACUY/w_LGtAhFh3A/s1600/spotifylisten.gif" /></a><a href="http://www.deezer.com/playlist/1249259471" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;" target="_blank"><img alt="http://www.deezer.com/playlist/1249259471" border="0" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-CF1UvV7MxrM/Ui8G4Z3G-4I/AAAAAAAACZc/F4bCqKOw7ls/s1600/deezer.png" /></a>Why I like this orchestra is that they perform classics of finnish tango with a very refreshing argentine nuevo touch but still keep the songs very danceable. The musicians are clearly amazing and I also really like the singing of Elina Koivusaari. For the tanda I replaced "Pieni sydän" with "Siks' oon mä suruinen", which was released
on their earlier demo but unfortunately was not available on<a href="https://tangopohjanthden.bandcamp.com/" target="_blank"> their released album</a> and therefore it's not on Spotify or Deezer.<br />
<br />
It was an unfortunately quiet night at the milonga and with the added challenge of playing alternatives I was struggling to feel comfortable behind the decks. Also the big challenge was how to progress with the traditional tango and how to balance the overall emotions and danceability and different styles, when suddenly there was this whole new extra ingredient of alternativism thrown in the mix. As there were not that many dancers I couldn't really judge how much of a success my set was although it did get some good compliments and some dancers were very happy with my interpretation of alternative tango.<br />
<br />
It was surely interesting. I'm not sure if I'd do it again though. What I'd be a lot more comfortable with would be a traditional set with one alternative tanda played at some point of the night. Although like I said earlier, I'd keep it as close to actual tango as possible. Probably even closer than this tanda by the excellent Tango Pohjan Tähden.<br />
<br />
Enjoy! Please feel free to comment about the tanda, theory of alternativism and my issues. I'd also like to thank everybody who helped me on Facebook to prepare for my set. Have a wonderful week!<br />

My name is Daniele Argelli, from Italy and I find your website very inspiring for the career as a tango dj I’m working on building.
I might be wrong but I haven’t found any Rafael Canaro tanda on TOTW, which I think is a pity since I think he recorded some very danceable music – although nowhere near as good and as plentiful as his more famous brother [<a href="http://tandaoftheweek.blogspot.com/search/label/Francisco%20Canaro" target="_blank">Francisco Canaro</a>].
A Rafael Canaro tanda I’ve played that people seemed to like is this:</span></i><br />

<br />
Thank you Daniele!<br />
<br />
I never want to criticize any of the tandas sent for the blog... but since Daniele kind of started it with describing Rafael as "<i><span class="_3qi9" data-reactid=".28.1.0.0.0.0.1:$mid=11432143326594=2b645461cd8f85d2268.0.$1.0.$right.0.0.1.0">nowhere near as good and as plentiful as his more famous brother"</span></i><span class="_3qi9" data-reactid=".28.1.0.0.0.0.1:$mid=11432143326594=2b645461cd8f85d2268.0.$1.0.$right.0.0.1.0">, let me agree with his statement and continue by saying that it is very clear that Francisco Canaro had the better orchestra and singers that were clearly better than Luis Scalón. But if you like this kind of tango music you can listen to more of Rafael Canaro and the "<a href="https://open.spotify.com/album/6kH4aDYX7qmNCbEoG9cKdW" target="_blank">Distancias</a>" album on <a href="https://open.spotify.com/album/6kH4aDYX7qmNCbEoG9cKdW" target="_blank">Spotify</a> and <a href="http://www.deezer.com/album/9093391" target="_blank">Deezer</a>. The album seemed to be in a lot better sound quality than the also available "<a href="https://open.spotify.com/album/078iiIHSKViBYQJeQUFQ1X" target="_blank">Tango en Paris</a>" album and you can get <b><u>69 songs for 9 dollars</u></b> when you <a href="https://itunes.apple.com/fi/album/distancias/id938520459" target="_blank">buy "Distancias" at the iTunes Store.</a></span><br />

<br />
Here's the second edition of the TOTW Yearly Reviews! This time we're looking into the <b><u>tandas posted in the year 2013.</u></b><br />
<br />
I split the tandas into two groups: The traditional and the not as
traditional tandas. As you may have noticed the blog is not only about
the theory of constructing perfect traditional tango tandas but there's
also space for more variety and sometimes I want to simply showcase a
certain orchestra and their music. I hope this list will help you to
explore, find your favorites and especially for the beginning DJ's to
understand styles of tango music better. Often the definitions of what
is or is not traditional vary slightly and there's some music that is
borderline this or the other. However after a quick look, I believe the
way I have split the tandas will satisfy most dancers, DJ's and the
tango police.<br />
<br />
I will later do a similar post for the previous years as well.<br />
<br />
Have a look at the review of <u><b><a href="http://tandaoftheweek.blogspot.fi/2015/03/totw-year-2014.html" target="_blank">TOTW - The Year 2014</a>.</b></u><br /><br />

Contursi was the author of lyrics of some of the <a href="https://tango.info/works/JosemContu" target="_blank">most popular tango songs</a> of his time. Songs like "Bajo un cielo de estrellas", "En esta tarde gris", "Verdemar" and of course "Gricel" all came from Contursis pen and in this tanda Alberto Marino sings his songs with the orchestra of Anibal Troilo.<br />

<a href="https://www.facebook.com/vincenzo.marino.330467">DJ Vincenzo Marino</a> (Italy) is the musicalizador of some of the best milongas of Triveneto and collaborates with the association "<a href="http://www.tangoevita.it/" target="_blank">Tango e Vita</a>" and has also played in festivals both in Italy and internationally.<br />
<br />
Thank you Vincenzo!<br />
<br />
I'm suprised that it is still impossible to find a good version of "Sombras nada mas" on Spotify or Deezer. Notice the skip in the beginning of the song. Also a lot of the versions out there are way too fast or low sound quality. At least TangoTunes.com has the correct version of the song without the skip and you can <a href="http://www.tangotunes.com/sombras-nada-mas-60-0400-rp.html">purchase it right here!</a><br />
<br />
Enjoy and have a great week!<br />

I think the singers of the orchestra are the main turnoff for me and instrumentals like these make me a lot happier with the uptempo beat and rhythmical playfulness. The tanda accelerates towards the end and I chose to put "Pasion criolla" as the last one due to the fine bandoneon variacion in the end of the song. You could also replace one of the songs with for example "<a href="https://open.spotify.com/track/2ZuhvvEjH1jxelb8uNuTCk" target="_blank">La tablada</a>".<br />

<br />
Greetings from Tallinn Estonia! I arrived yesterday for the first night of the Viejo Tallinn Tango Marathon and will be playing here on Sunday. Last weekend I was attending the <a href="https://www.facebook.com/TangoDevoradores?fref=ts" target="_blank">Tango Devoradores Marathon</a> in Wroclaw Poland as a dancer only. I have never been to that many marathons and it's interesting to see these two marathons back to back both as a dancer and a DJ. The scale of the events is very different as the Wroclaw marathon had close to 350 dancers and 13 (!) DJ's, while the Tallinn marathon has about 150 dancers and 5 DJ's. In Wroclaw there were the pre- and afterparties and DJ's were playing only 4 hour sets but in Tallinn I fortunately get to play 6 hours, which I think is the perfect lenght for a DJ set.<br />
<br />
There's also another very fundamental difference in the two marathons: The style of music. While in Wroclaw I had to wait for DJ number 7 <a class="popup" href="http://www.tangomaraton.pl/infoen/djs/dj-mik-avramenko/"><b>Mik Avramenko</b></a> from Ukraine to get a great set of traditional tangos centered around the likes of Troilo, Di Sarli and D'Arienzo - In Tallinn the event kicked off with classic tangos from both the first two DJ's Andrea Dedo from Italy and James Bates from Belgium and I'm expecting the same to continue.<br />
<br />
I don't want to be a tango police here and commit a career suicide but I will share my view on the matter and it's something I've discussed with many other DJ's coming from a more traditional stance on tango music. There's nothing wrong with the occasional special selection and the Donatos and Lomutos etc. But many DJ's go so far into centering their set around the likes of Canaro, Donato, Rodriguez and some Guardia Vieja that the set feels out of balance and the occasional Troilo will not save the set for me. And it is not just that I don't get to hear my favorites but also the fact that the general mood and dynamics of the songs from these orchestras is so different that I feel like a lot of the passion that should be in the music is missing and instead all we're getting is at it's best nice and comfortable music for snuggling. I do want a lot more from my tango music. More edge, passion and yes even some drama. And yeah uptempo valses and milongas too. And then... I'm ready to snuggle also. <br /><a name='more'></a>
<br />
I know there's a theory that in order to keep people dancing all day and night long the music should be easier and smoother but I do not really believe in this. Of course you shouldn't play uptempo D'Arienzos etc the whole time but there's plenty of downtempo music with very strong qualities that are just as energetic as the best of D'Arienzo. I know I have issues and I want to dance to music first, friends and atmosphere second.<br />
<br />
But then again.... the music has to be in relation to the audience as well. And no matter how much I did not enjoy everything played in the marathon, the majority of dancers did. The Wroclaw marathon was organized for the fifth time already and is probably known for a certain style which attracts certain dancers. In fact it was the very special basically alternative selections that received applauses from the audience. And again I have no problem with this. To each their own. It just shows how many types of dancers and events there are. And don't get me wrong... the Wroclaw marathon had great dancing and very friendly atmosphere and I'd consider going again and would love to play there myself one day. I didn't of course hear full sets from all the DJ's but I did enjoy a lot for example <a class="popup" href="http://www.tangomaraton.pl/infoen/djs/dj-dark-oh-tango/"><b>Darko Vicentijevic</b></a> from Serbia. He was mixing a lot of orchestras especially in vals tandas but also some tangos. And he did it really well and overall had high energy in the music and I feel he was an excellent choice to be the last DJ of Saturday night. I also enjoyed the afterparty DJ's <a class="popup" href="http://www.tangomaraton.pl/infoen/djs/dj-jakub-ciczkowski/"><b>Jakub Ciczkowski</b></a> and <a class="popup" href="http://www.tangomaraton.pl/infoen/djs/dj-kasia-gabryluk/"><b>Kasia Gabryluk</b></a> from Poland a lot.<br />
<br />
I do like the Marathon format a lot as well as the Encuentros. I just hope that there will be more events in both formats that will have the music... in the lack of better words.... a bit more edgy and less cuddly. <br />

I've prepared a few tandas for my special selections for this marathon and here's one of them. I do not know yet if I will play it but I've been listening to the tanda a lot and I like it. I recently found the song "El cielo para los dos" and wanted to create a tanda for it. I first heard a version by Lagrima Rios on the excellent "Cafe de los Maestros" tango documentary and the beautiful melody stuck to my memory. This version by the unknown orchestra of Alberto Mancione is quite excellent but not quite perfect. Still a great song in my opinion. I start the tanda with the well known "El viejo vals" by Rotundo and end it with Varela's "Igual que dos palomas". All of the songs have two singers which gives the songs nice energy also. When I have a long set I like to play one vals tanda from the 1950s and this might be the one on Sunday. I hope you enjoy it.<br />
<br />
EDIT: I had "Un cielo para los dos" as the last song originally but when I played this is Tallinn I chose to have it as the second song and finish with the vals of Varela, which I thought of as being more clear and danceable and giving the dancer a nicer way to finish the tanda. <br />
<br />
The cortina is dedicated to my friends and the tango community in Skopje, Macedonia. <br />

Greetings from The Netherlands. I will be playing tonight in Milonga La Roca in Amersfoort!<br />
<a href="http://www.deezer.com/playlist/1209936301" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;" target="_blank"><img alt="http://www.deezer.com/playlist/1209936301" border="0" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-CF1UvV7MxrM/Ui8G4Z3G-4I/AAAAAAAACZc/F4bCqKOw7ls/s1600/deezer.png" /></a><br />
Here's just a quick update to the blog and a tanda of super classics from Di Sarli that I've played on my last few gigs on this tour. Unfortunately I was unable to find "Todo" on Deezer and didn't find a good replacement since suprisingly many Di Sarli songs were not available. I feel that the strong "Cascabelito" can follow "Todo", which has a strong ending and energy. But trying to put something like "Verdemar" as the second song would not make the tanda work anymore so I hope you have access to Spotify.... Apparently Deezer is about to include "Todo" in their library so I'll update the playlist when it's available.<br />
<br />
Enjoy!<b></b><br />
