Re: [Tango-L] Last tango in Bs. As. - las damas del tango
I think it's to be found on: Las Damas del Tango 1909-1946 ...under the different spelling Triqui-tra ;) Thanks Anna! And also to those who replied direct - the track can also be found on: Edgardo Donato Vol.1 (1932-1941), Club Tango Argentino (http://eng.tango.info/02480001024126) -- Chris ___ Tango-L mailing list Tango-L@mit.edu http://mailman.mit.edu/mailman/listinfo/tango-l
Re: [Tango-L] Last tango in Bs. As.
Ron I believe I've heard some Donato tangos and valses with Lita Morales at milongas in Buenos Aires. Me too, but only when she's accompanied by one or even two guys ;) Here's a rare example of her (almost) solo: Edgardo Donato + Lita Morales Triqui-tri http://tinyurl.com/2teqrh If anyone knows to buy a full-quality copy of this, please tell! I don't remember hearing tangos by Canaro with Nelly Omar Nor I. Here in Europe too they're rarely played. I think the problem with them is not so much the girl's voice, but the weak dance feel. There's no shortage of valses that are much stronger for dancing. -- Chris ___ Tango-L mailing list Tango-L@mit.edu http://mailman.mit.edu/mailman/listinfo/tango-l

I think it's to be found on: Las Damas del Tango 1909-1946 My question to the list: why are las damas del tango so neglected by the DJ's in the milongas? What is the reason for this? Is it to protect the male leaders from being too confused to lead when hearing the enchantingly tender voice of a lady singer?

Re: [Tango-L] Last tango in Bs. As.
Yes, it's tradition, and when La Cumparsita begins, everyone on the floor applauds. It's so lovely. Other traditions are no female singers, and you're correct, it's bad luck to dance to Adios Muchachos. Also Carlos Gardel recordings are never played at milongas in Buenos Aires.

Re: [Tango-L] Last tango in Bs. As.
I once did hear a nice story about this custom and, although it's almost certainly untrue, I thought I'd ask if anyone else has ever heard it to be true. I heard that the DJ could play 2 different versions of La Cumparsitas at the end of the milonga. The first was to indicate that the milonga was coming to an end and the 2nd gave people the opportunity to dance the very last dance with the partner of their choice and, presumably, to arrange a liaison afterwards. As I say, probably not true, but a nice idea :-). P.S. I always do it at my milongas :-).
