Francisco Lomuto

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

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

Juan D'Arienzo

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"

Alfredo De Angelis

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Juan D'Arienzo

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.
