Singer
(October 15, 1916 – August 24, 1982)

In early 1943, Alberto Podestá split with Miguel Caló and joined the Pedro Laurenz Orchestra. Because of that, they began to look after a substitute.

The author Oscar Rubens suggested Raúl Iriarte’s name to Caló and they went to see him. After hearing him the leader hired him and on May 17, 1943.

At Iriarte’s debut, the orchestra led by Miguel Caló was lined up by Osmar Maderna on piano; Enrique Mario Francini, Aquiles Aguilar, Antonio Bogas, and Mario Lalli on violins; Domingo Federico, Armando Pontier, José Cambareri and Felipe Richiardi on bandoneons; and on double bass, Armando Caló.

He soon reached success and managed to impose on the public two Carlos Bahr’s numbers, “Mañana iré temprano” and “Cada día te extraño más” that he recorded on August 10, 1943. Continue reading at www.todotango.com…

Silueta Porteña. Argentine music. Milonga. Escuela de Tango de Buenos Aires.

“Silueta Porteña” by Francisco Canaro y su Orquesta Típica with Roberto Maida in vocals, 1936.

Popular dance or, simply, the milonga

In the twenties and also partly in the thirties, the venues where people used to go to dance were: backyard dances, neighborhood clubs —where dancing reunions were held—, dancing clubs, dancehalls, tearooms and night clubs. Many of these places lasted up to the late fifties. Continue reading at www.todotango.com…

Singer and composer
(22 September 1924 – 9 December 2015)

“The first four numbers recorded with Miguel Caló I made them under the name Juan Carlos Morel, because there were then other singers with the family name Podestá, which was my mother’s, but Caló was not willing to have any trouble with family names.”

“Later, Di Sarli asked me my surname and said: “Boy, from now on you’ll be Alberto Podestá and from all those who bear that last name you’ll be the only one who’ll sing for the longest time”. See how much Don Carlos knew!”. Continue reading at www.todotango.com…
