Tango of the Day III

Hello everyone,

Today I was going to talk about another of the "big 4" orchestras, but I thought better of it... I have had this tango stuck in my head all day and thought I would share it with you. It's for a special someone currently in Bs As... You know who you are...

The tango is "Vendras Alguna Vez" by Enrique Rodriguez with singer Roberto Flores. The title means "You'll Come back Someday". You can get the recording from the IStore (search for "Vendras Algunas Vez", it's the very first one that comes up). Recorded all the way back in 1938, it's a great example of the early Rodriguez sound - a sound that "carries" as I like to say. I generally play this type of music early in a milonga.

This is in contrast with the slower but more well-known tangos Rodriguez later recorded with the famous Alberto Moreno. I prefer to play Rodriguez-Moreno towards the end of a milonga because it's slower and more "calm".

Enjoy.
