Juan d'Arienzo, Osvaldo Ramos




Orchestra: Juan d'Arienzo


Singer(s): Osvaldo Ramos


Period: 1965–1974


Comment:
By far Osvaldo Ramos is not the most important singer recording with Juan d'Arienzo. Nevertheless I wanted to share it in a separate chapter because I like a lot some of their songs. And there are some really nice performances online. Enjoy :)


DJ:
There are not too many songs recorded by Ramos with d'Arienzo. The energy of several of them is amazing. If you play them in right moment, it can be  the best part of the milonga... Not that we are talking here about 60ies and 70ies, which is much later than the majority of classical tango music played in milongas. For me it still sounds good and can be played even in quite "conservative" milongas. There are not many other orchestras from that period about which I could say the same .


Song examples:

Mi Dolor, Orquesta Juan d'Arienzo, Canta Osvaldo Ramos, 1972, Bailan Sebastian Arce - Mariana Montes

Sentimiento Gaucho, Orquesta Juan d'Arienzo, Canta Osvaldo Ramos, Bailan Sebastian Jiménez - Maria Inés Bogado

Dimelo Al Oido, Orquesta Juan d'Arienzo, Canta Osvaldo Ramos, 1974

Remembranzas, Orquesta Juan d'Arienzo, Canta Osvaldo Ramos, TV recording

    D'Arienzo with Ramos is a secret favorite of mine; in this period D'Arienzo is full of emotions, yet keeps his characteristic strong rhytmical base in the background. Some of my most memorable tandas had been danced to D'Arienzo&Ramos. It is relatively difficult to dance (not like D'Arienzo&Echague of '37-'38 which fit all level), but with a well balanced partner the experience can be fully absorbing. Unfortunately I very rarely hear them in normal milongas. Sentimiento Gaucho gives me goose bumps every single time.
