I’ve been spinning this week’s tanda at my live milonga sets for ages. Honestly, it never fails. People always fill the floor. This set features Rodolfo Biagi’s orchestra, with Alberto Amor on vocals. Out of the 30 tracks they recorded together, here’s the breakdown:
– 2 milongas
– 24 tangos
– 4 valses
Let’s talk about those valses. Here they are in the order they were recorded:
– Prisionero (1943)
– Paloma (1945)
– Aroma de amor (1946)
– Mañana por la mañana (1946)
Why this tanda?
- Biagi’s piano is truly in a league of its own.
- The way he plays with rhythm? You blink, and a whole song has passed.
- And while Alberto Amor might not have the same fame as Jorge Ortiz, his voice pairs beautifully with Biagi’s style.
How can you use it?
- It fits anywhere in the night. The last song starts off gentle—perfect for catching your breath—then picks up that classic Biagi energy.
- Personally, I usually slide it in as the second or third vals tanda. It sets just the right mood.
