“Soy un arlequín” by Carlos Di Sarli y su Sexteto Típico, 1929.
During Di Sarli’s sextet years, 1928-31, his sound still fit with the slow marching beat that was popular at the time among orchestras like Francisco Canaro’s and Osvaldo Fresedo’s (Di Sarli’s personal inspiration).
However he was beginning to carve out his personal signature of a unified orchestral sound, lush melody, and soft understated rhythm.
I was born in Argentina. Through my family and the community that saw my upbringing, I have been intimately involved with the culture of Tango all my life, and have been an Argentine Tango dance performer, choreographer and instructor for over 30 years. I profoundly love Tango dancing, music, and culture, particularly that of the Golden Era. I am a milonguero.
