DJ-ing: Tanda discussion
I want to discuss two special tandas I DJed last month which made lots of people rushing at me and asking what it was. So in case you heard them and you are curious what it was but you did not ask (or you lost the paper I wrote it down for you) - here they come:
1st Tanda was made initially as special last tanda for the Paris gig 17th of July consisting of 5 tracks (4 plus one special Paris ending):
- Poema - Orquesta Típica A.J. Pesenti du Coliséum de Paris con Nena Sainz - 3:14 - 1932 - Tango
Album: Tahiti - A.J. Pesenti et son orchestre de tango - AMP (CD-1281) - Cheri ! - Orquesta A.J. Pesenti de Coliséum de Paris con Rosette Guy - 2:47 - 1932 - Tango
Album: Tahiti - A.J. Pesenti et son orchestre de tango - AMP (CD-1281) - Ressovuenance - Orquesta Mario Melfi con Marcel Verán - 3:15 - 1934 - Tango
Album: Las Joyas Del Tango Vol. 2 (1929-1942) - (CTA-1011) - Vous qu'avez-vous fait de mon amour? - Orquesta Miguel Orlando con Tino Rossi - 2:59 - 1933 - Tango
Album: El Tango En París 1930-1941 - BATC (orq 216) - París, París - Orchestre A.J. Pesenti de l'Empire con Nena Sainz - 3:12 - 1933 - Tango
Album: El Tango en Europa Vol. 1 - BATC (orq-207)
Please note that "Poema" is NOT the "normal unnormal Poema" by René Pesenti with Alberto but Típica A.J. Pesenti with Nena Sainz! followed by another rare french tango called "Cheri !" also by Pesenti. Finishing with two super sweet ones. "Vous qu'avez-vous fait de mon amour?" is quite overplayed meanwhile in Vienna.
As a special fifth track for Paris "París, París" again by A.J. Pesenti and again with Nena Sainz to finish this tanda like it started. I was afraid that these French tracks might be overplayed in Paris, but given the feedback and excitement of the dancers it was not. Obviously the japanese CDs are still rare enough.. ;)
I reused this tanda during the milonga on 22nd of July at Galeria Ideal as sweet tanda during the evening, but without the overplayed Miguel Orlando / Tino Rossi track.
2nd Tanda was played also at Galeria Ideal on 22nd of July and was a high energy tango tanda by Miguel Villasboas:
- 9 de julio - Miguel Villasboas - 2:19 - ???? - Tango
Album: La Cumparsita - Sondor (47672) - Sentimiento gaucho - Miguel Villasboas - 2:42 - ???? - Tango
Album: La Cumparsita - Sondor (47672) - Felicia - Miguel Villasboas - 2:23 - ???? - Tango
Album: La Cumparsita - Sondor (47672) - El amanecer - Miguel Villasboas y Wáshington Quintas Moreno - 3:22 - 1997 - Tango
Miguel Villasboas y su orquesta típica en Australia - Sondor (83102)
Actually the whole tanda was built and used to play the last special track as climax of the evening. I wanted to use that track for a long time. It is the famous and well known tango "El amanecer" played by Miguel Villasboas and Wáshington Quintas Moreno on two pianos only. So this makes it already a very special version of "El amanecer" and most experienced dancers will be surprised by this one. But just when you get used to the two pianos playing a violin starts to produce the most bewildering "animal-sound-imitations" you can imagine in a very funny way catching everybody by surprise and making everybody smile and clap. What a great moment this was! :)
Dancing: Recommended international tango events
An upcoming huge tango festival near by Vienna will be
It takes place 21st to 28th of August featureing some of the most famous maestros, workshops for best value for money and my humbe self DJ-ing the Saturday evening on 27th.
The ultimate event for a tango-weekend-connoisseur:
by Alessandra and Marco at Villa Giacomelli in Pradamano near Udine will take place again on 14th to 16th of October! Registration mandatory. You might be able to dance to my music here as well in case you stay till Sunday evening! :)
I do not know the following event, but it is near by Vienna being organized as a tangomarathon by a young group of Hungarian dancers inviting very good DJs from all over Europe! So you might consider to take a dance in Budapest again from 21st to 23rd of October:
Little known is a lovely relaxed non-typical "tangomarathon" taking place each year at the second weekend of December in Cologne to celebrate the birthday of the tango place itself - highly recommended!
If you have got free time you may arrive already on Thursday to dance at the regular Tango Colón milonga.
There are several cool tangomarathons in September. But actually it's too late to recommend them since as far as I know they are fully booked already. This would have been:
- Tangomarathon Hamburg TMH-2011
- Basel Tango Marathon
Dancing: Flyer "Los códigos en la milonga" also as French translation
This new French version of the flyer was made by the help of Alexis Beuraud.
(If anyone wants to help me to translate this flyer in Spanish, please get in contact with me!)

There is lots of news for CTA-CDs of the Japanese tangoclub Club Tango Argentino.
(If you don't know what that is, you might take a look at the CTA-FAQ-page)

If you are interested in getting one of available CTA-CDs make up your mind quickly, since they go out of print very fast and when they are gone, they are gone.
Another thing I experience every month - 99% of all inquiries about possible CTA-copies and sent-in sound examples turn out to be not from an original CTA-CD. Since it can be tricky to identify original or bootleg-copy there is a rule of thumb here: If the bootleg-copy in questions looks like a CTA-CD (album title, cover, design) most likely it's not a copy but something different. The only CDs I came across where I could not hear a difference had a very different cover design and title (for good reason..)
