44/2024 - High Energy Tango Classics of - Juan D'Arienzo & Alberto Echagüe
These tango classics are some of the highest energy songs for giving more energy to the dance floor or the start of this week!
Was 1939 the peak of high-energy, uptempo Argentine tango classics?
This tanda of Juan D'Arienzo with Alberto Echagüe supports this claim and falls within the perfect range of 65 to 69 BPM to get the milonga going. Alberto Echagüe's calmer singing in "Que Dios Te Ayude" gives the dancers a chance to start a little bit easier, although at the same time, the orchestra gives the permission to go all in!
"El Vino Triste" might seem deceptively smooth, and the orchestra is a bit more in the background compared to the other three, but soon you'll find that it packs a good 68-69 bpm tempo and a delicious long bandoneon variación to finish the song.
I actually paired the songs so that the first two have an ending with a piano solo followed by the bandoneons, while the last two have the possibly stronger endings with a piano solo followed by the singer joined by the bandoneons. "Trago Amargo" and "Mandria" seem also even more staccato and the notes come sharp enough to hurt somebody.
Make sure you get the songs in great quality! I try to find the best versions available on Spotify but sometimes it's not possible.
