His early groups were sextets with which he recorded 48 numbers from November 26, 1928 to August 14, 1931.

Previously he had played piano in a large number of movie theaters as background music for silent movies. In 1923 he joined the group led by Anselmo Aieta.

The following year he played with the outfit fronted by Juan Pedro Castillo and, also, in a trio along with Alejandro Scarpino (bandoneon) and Lorenzo Olivari (violin) to back up the singers that appear on the LOX Radio Cultura radio station.

In the mid- 1926 Osvaldo Fresedo summoned him to perform as piano player of a second orchestra he had put together to appear at the same time of his main aggregation in which the pianist was José María Rizzuti.

Pianist and composer
(April 28, 1887 – November 4, 1963)

He was one of the figures of most significant importance in the early tango stage. He was regarded as a player with great precision and enormous rhythmical strength.

One of his achievements was terrific in his time and later for the tango researchers until the present: he said that his first tango: “El Talar”, a reasonably successful tune by that time, was composed when he was nine years old in 1895. Never was demonstrated anything to the contrary, and the doubts and conjectures never ceased. In case that was true, he would be the youngest composer in the history of Tango.

"El estagiario", Argentine Tango vinyl disc.

“El estagiario” by Carlos Di Sarli y su Orquesta Típica, 1941.

“El estagiario” by Carlos Di Sarli y su Orquesta Típica, 1941.

The title of this tango always arouses curiosity, adding to the beauty of listening to it as the incredible creation that Carlos Di Sarli made of it, recording it on April 18, 1941.

This composition belongs to Martín Lasala Álvarez, an Uruguayan doctor who was a functionary of the Uruguayan state for most of his life, working for the Foreign Service of Uruguay in Paris.

The word “estagiario” does not exist either in the Lunfardo or in the popular jargon of the Oriental people (the people of República Oriental del Uruguay). Instead, it is an adaptation of Lasala himself – from the French “stagiare”, the practitioner or advanced medical student who collaborates in the Hospital’s practices.

Martín Lasala, who completed studies in Paris, was also a piano performer. But, to mitigate nostalgia or to animate meetings, as a good Rio Platense, he gave free rein to his passion, playing and composing tangos.

Carlos Di Sarli was the one who captured and recorded the richness of this tango.

Pianist, leader and composer

(7 January 1903 – 12 January 1960)

He, as nobody else, knew how to combine the rhythmic cadence of tango with a harmonic structure, apparently simple, but full of nuances and subtleties.

He was not enrolled for any of the two streams of his time. His was neither a traditional orchestra, styled after Roberto Firpo or Francisco Canaro nor a follower of the De Caro renewal.

Di Sarli imposed a seal of his own; a different musical profile, which remained, unaltered throughout his prolonged career.

In the beginning, his sextet reveals us the influence of Osvaldo Fresedo. And certainly, I think there would have never been a Di Sarli had not existed a Fresedo. But, only as necessary forerunner of a style that, with time, would become a pure model with its own and differentiated nature.

He was a talented pianist, maybe one of the most important, who conducted his orchestra from his instrument, with which he mastered the synchrony and the performance of the outfit.

In his orchestral scheme there were not instrumental solos, the bandoneon section sang at times the melody, but it had an essentially rhythmic and danceable role. Only the violin was showcased in an extremely delicate way, on a brief solo or on a counter melody. Continue reading.
