While Alberto Reynal is not one of the most known or played singers of D'Arienzo the recordings like "Almanaque de ilusíon" and "El corazón me engaño" are some of my top favorites (it's a long list of favorites though). With this tanda I wanted to try to start with an instrumental that would have the qualities of the following vocal songs. This might cause some mixed emotions from the dancers and I'd love to hear what you think about it. I'm picturing the orchestra play at a milonga and starting with some instrumentals before bringing the singer on stage. And I believe I found two songs that follow each other perfectly in "El resero" and "Almanaque de ilusíon". I've done this with a few tandas before on the blog and they're tagged with the label vocal/instrumental.

I like the tanda. I think it is much more acceptable to mix instrumentals and sung songs (with the same singer) than it is to mix singers within the tanda.
ReplyDeleteAlmanaque de ilusión is my favorite of the 4 - nice and catchy -- I would have put it as the starter. Overall a solid tanda. Thanks!
ReplyDeleteThank you for your comment. I'm more comfortable in having the instrumental in a mixed tanda as the first song. But I have heard great tandas where the single instrumental song has been as a second, third or the fourth song so I will experiment more...
