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.
