22/2025 - The best Pedro Laurenz instrumental tango tanda? - I think so!
This instrumental Argentine tango tanda, with songs recorded between 1937 and 1947, is a true showcase of the brilliance of Orquesta Típica de Pedro Laurenz.
Welcome to the 39th Tanda of the Week!
There's been a lot of instrumental tandas on the blog lately, but I couldn't help sharing this one from Pedro Laurenz!
When playing a Pedro Laurenz tanda, we often choose tangos with singers Alberto Podestá or Juan Carlos Casas or some valses and milongas. Unfortunately Pedro Laurenz's orchestra, one of the most revered orchestras in Argentine tango, didn't record that many instrumentals.
However, there are a few ways we can go with a Laurenz instrumental tango tanda and this one if my favorite. Listen to the songs first and I'll tell you how the tanda came together.
