Edgardo Donato, Horacio Lagos

Orchestra: Edgardo Donato

Singer(s): Horacio Lagos

Period: 1935–1942

Comment:

As a dancer I love songs by Donato and Lagos. They are very rhythmic and easy to dance. When you listen carefully you will notice that the songs from early period are slightly different from the later ones. In my opinion the early songs are more playful and happier. The difference is not as clear as in case of di Sarli (1939-1941 vs 1942 and later), but I think there is something in it. Does it mean that the musicians were "growing up"? Let's see if we find similar examples from other orchestras later on...


DJ:

Edgardo Donato with Horacio Lagos: I think that most dancers love their songs and the dance floor is always pretty full.

I feel like I am repeating myself...I have written similar comments about most other orchestras and singers that have appeared in the blog so far. I can promise you that it will not continue forever. In some time I will start writing about less popular orchestras and more sophisticated songs.

If you want to finish your milonga and send the dancers home in good moods, Donato is one of the best choices for the last tanda...
