Alfredo De Angelis Tango

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!

Alfredo Gobbi Tango

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.
