Carlos di Sarli, Alberto Podestá

Orchestra: Carlos di Sarli

Singer(s): Alberto Podestá

Period: 1942–1944, 1947

Comment:

We are in 1942. From the previous 2 chapters about di Sarli (Roberto Rufino & Instrumentals 40ies) we know that the music is now slower and more lyrical. For me the voice of Alberto Podesta make the songs very romantic. In my opinion we, dancers in Europe, listen too much to the rhythm and too little to the melody while dancing. Di Sarli with Podesta is a great example of music to listen to the melody. Let's try to slow down more, connect to our dance partner and experience the strong emotion the music can bring us.

DJ:
In 1944 Podesta stopped recording with di Sarli to be back in 1947. It might be not obvious immediately, but the songs from 1947 are quite different from those recorded earlier. There are only 5 tangos recorded in that year (La canción más triste, Por el camino, Soy aquel viajero, Dinero, dinero, Dejame No Quiero Verte Mas). They are less frequently played and in my opinion a little bit more difficult to dance. I would keep them for the moments when we have better dancers on the floor.
