Hello everyone,
Today we are switching gears to some happier-sounding music. Today's tango is a Waltz (oups!): "Lejos de Ti" (Far from You), interpreted by Rodolfo Biagi with the voice of Teofilo Ibanez in 1938. Biagi is a very interesting pianist. He got his first big break with D'Arienzo when D'Arienzo's preceding pianist (Fasoli) showed up late for a gig one too many times... The new sound Biagi brought to D'Arienzo's orchestra changed tango overnight. But as good things must come to an end, D'Arienzo fired Biagi in early 1938 after Biagi (reluctantly) took a bow at the end of a performance... D'Arienzo immediately came to him and said "There is only one star in this orchestra: me! You are fired!" So goes tango...
You can find this beautiful Waltz on the IStore by searching for "Lejos de ti Biagi".
Enjoy!
