Tango La Cumparsita - Carlos Molinas Tango Orch., 1931

Carlos Molina’s Tango Orchestra - La Cumparsita (The Masked One) Tango () Brunswick 1931 (USA) NOTE: This 1931 version is considered by many, as one of the “ultimate tango-renditions“ in history. Certainly, it’s one of the most fascinating, slow yet extremely passionate versions, arranged by the bandleader - who is a Colombia-born tango interpreter. He was, however, most active in Buenos Aires, where the Tango found its motherland (while, its true birthland, was Uruguay). I chose this recording, urged by Lana - our Chicagoan tango-expert in this site - who expressed once or twice her disappointment with so many charlestons and foxtrotts having been recently presented in my site - to the detriment of tangoes. So, here it is - the Tango of Tangoes - dedicated solely for you, Lana! :-))
