One of the most unique and unmistakable sounds in Argentine tango has to be Lucio Demare with singer Juan Carlos Miranda in these recordings from 1942, many of which were Demare's compositions.

Rodolfo Biagi Tango

21/2025 Rodolfo Biagi's instrumental tangos from 1950s

Biagi's amazing instrumental tango 'El Recodo' from 1952 is one tango classic I play a lot less than I would want to. Let's see if we can create a tanda around the song that would do it justice!

Carlos Di Sarli Tango

19/2025 Carlos Di Sarli & Roberto Rufino - Tristeza Marina

Whether it’s instrumentals or vocal tracks, uptempo or downtempo — Di Sarli has it all. You can easily play multiple Di Sarli tandas at a milonga without repeating the same style, as long as you draw from the different key periods of his career and discography.

14/2025 Alfredo Gobbi & Jorge Maciel - El violín romántico del tango

Here's a late night tanda perfect for a marathon set or an after-party. While these songs are perhaps more unknown, I believe they are still very danceable and beautiful.

Angel D'Agostino Tango

13/2025 - Ángel D'Agostino with Ángel Vargas - Nostalgic Argentine Tango Tanda

I believe nobody captures that nostalgic style of tango better than Ángel D'Agostino with Ángel Vargas. This beautiful and calm, possibly early hours tanda sets the mood right from the first notes and has us strolling down Corrientes and Florida haunted by lost love.
