Francisco Lomuto Tango

40/2025 - Francisco Lomuto instrumentals 1941-1943 Sentimiento Gaucho

A great tanda of the few 1940s instrumental tangos from Francisco Lomuto.

Juan D'Arienzo Tango

39/2025 - Juan D'Arienzo & Héctor Mauré - Argentine tango tanda

"His interpretation was dramatic and at the same time, melodic. A peculiar voice, with a baritone-tenor range, pleasant timbre and clear diction, strong voice, melodious and with good intonation, clearly influenced by Gardel"

37/2025 Alfredo De Angelis & Oscar Larroca - Argentine tango tanda

...A great mix of melody and rhythm and from the large discography you should have plenty of options for a few good tandas.

Miguel Caló Tango

24/2025 - Miguel Calo with Raúl Iriarte - Cada dias te extraño mas

This exceptional tanda is one of my most played and one I have played since forever.

Lucio Demare Tango

23/2025 - Lucio Demare with Juan Carlos Miranda - Malena

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.

Pedro Laurenz Tango

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.

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.

Ricardo Pedevilla Tango

18/2025 Ricardo Pedevilla - more than a Carlos Di Sarli copycat?

Juan D'Arienzo Tango

17/2025 Tango Time Travel with Juan D'Arienzo & Juan Carlos Lamas

Here’s a tanda I’ve probably only played once, since I never had the songs in good quality — until Tango Time Travel came to the rescue with their high quality releases.

My version of the classic Buenos Aires tanda and how it all began.

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.

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.

Jose Garcia Tango

10/2025 José García y sus Zorros Grises with Alfredo Rojas

By the late 1930s, José García y sus Zorros Grises were already matching the top orchestras of the era in musical quality. These recordings from 1942-1944 make one of my favorite tandas.
