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.

Carlos di Sarli, Instrumental 40ies

Orchestra: Carlos di Sarli

Singer(s): Instrumental

Period: 1939–1948

Comment:

Very similar to the recordings with Rufino. At the beginning (1939-1941) faster and more rhythmical songs (e.g. El Retirao, Shusheta). Later (1941-1948) songs are slower and more melodic (e.g. Didí, El Pollo Ricardo, 7 Palabras).

DJ:
Again a must have in the milongas. I don't know personally anybody that would not like di Sarli's music, especially instrumentals (some people appreciate less songs with singers).

Carlos di Sarli, Roberto Rufino

Orchestra: Carlos di Sarli

Singer(s): Roberto Rufino

Period: 1939–1943

Comment:

After the sexteto period di Sarli is back in 1939. The style  of music is completely different from the Sexteto period. Roberto Rufino is one of the most important singers recording with di Sarli’s orchestra. At the beginning (1939-1941) their tangos are quite fast and carry high energy (e.g. Corazón, Lo Pasao...Pasó). Later (1941-1943) they slow down, bringing more lyrical songs (e.g. Esta Noche De Luna, Verdemar).


DJ:
I think that at one tanda of di Sarli from 40ies (with Rufino, Podesta, Duran or instrumental) is an absolute must in every milonga. The tandas of di Sarli with Rufino always work. Practically all songs are very good for milonga usage.

Carlos di Sarli, Sexteto

Orchestra:  Carlos di Sarli


Singer(s): Ernesto Famá, Santiago Devin, Fernando Díaz, Roberto Deirene, Mercedes Carné, Instrumentals.


Period: 1928-1932


Comment:
Very interesting period. Many dancers and teachers don't even know that di Sarli had this type of music in his repertoire. After 1932 no recordings are available and di Sarli is back in 1939 with the style everybody knows and loves.

DJ:
Very good material for milonga. The songs from that period usually attract lots of dancers to the dance floor. Some of the songs have quite low energy, so make sure you play them in right moment, without putting the energy of the milonga down. The most interesting songs: with Famá, Devin and instrumentals.
