2025-31 Ricardo Tanturi & Enrique Campos |vals| Añoranzas

This week, I’ve put together a tanda of valses for you. All of these are by Ricardo Tanturi, recorded after 1943. Instead of the usual Alberto Castillo, you’ll hear singers like Enrique Campos, Roberto Videla, and Osvaldo Ribó.

A quick fact: Tanturi recorded 53 tracks with Campos alone. Out of those, I’d say 46 are perfect for a milonga. Not bad, right?

From this era, there are only five valses you can really use together in a tanda, one of them instrumental. So, you don’t get a ton of variety in structure, but they all stick to that classic tango-vals feel. In other words, they’re made for dancing.

2025-30 Juan D’Arienzo & Alberto Echagüe |tango| Nada más

This week, I’m going with a classic. Yep, I’m bringing back that Juan D’Arienzo tanda—probably the most-played tanda on YouTube. Maybe it feels like the easy pick, but honestly, it never gets old. I first shared it way back in 2013, and people from all over the world loved it. Now it’s got more than 2.4 million views. Pretty wild, right?

Over the past 12 years, I’ve played this tanda at all kinds of milongas. Big crowds, small gatherings—you name it. Today, I wondered: If I was putting this tanda together for the first time, how would I do it? So, I gave it another listen with fresh ears. Here’s what came out of that.

Hope you’re having a great summer! I’ve got a new Tanda of the Week for you. This time, it’s a set of tangos by Francisco Canaro with Ernesto Famá from 1939. These tracks are upbeat and full of life. Perfect if you want to keep things fun at your next milonga.

Why pick this tanda?

◦ I know Canaro sometimes gets a bad rap among tango DJs. But honestly, his music is super versatile.

◦ There’s something for every mood.

◦ This particular tanda is lively and playful—just what you need to kick up the energy.
