“Si sos brujo: A Tango Story”

“Si sos brujo: A Tango Story”

“Si sos brujo: una historia de tango” (original title)

Stars: Emilio Balcarce, Leopoldo Federico, Ernesto Franco, and more…

Si Sos Brujo is a heartfelt, inspiring film that could do for Argentine Tango what the Buena Vista Social Club did for the music and musicians of Cuba illuminating an evolving culture, a way of life and the triumph of preserving one of the most intricate musical traditions of the world, following nearly 50 years of relative obscurity.

This beautifully shot documentary brings the compelling story of a group of young Argentine musicians racing against time to learn and preserve the elegant and nuanced music played by the legendary Golden Age tango orchestras of Buenos Aires in the 40s and 50s.

If you are familiar with the names of Pugliese, Troilo, Di Sarli and D’Arienzo, this film is essential viewing.

“Pájaro ciego” by Anibal Troilo y su Orquesta Típica with Amadeo Mandarino and Francisco Fiorentino in vocals, 1941.

“Pájaro ciego” by Anibal Troilo y su Orquesta Típica with Amadeo Mandarino and Francisco Fiorentino in vocals, 1941.

Amadeo Mandarino, Argentine Tango singer.

Amadeo Mandarino

Singer (May 22, 1913 – June 12, 1996)

He was an interpreter with a gentle voice, a baritone register, a perfect intonation, and a phrasing typical of Buenos Aires, to which we must add his pleasant personality and great sense of friendship.

In the early 1940 he was summoned by his friend Aníbal Troilo to be vocalist in his orchestra along with Francisco Fiorentino.

His tenure lasted nearly two years, and he split on December 31, 1941.

In a duo with Fiorentino, he committed to record only one number: Antonio Bonavena’s and Lito Bayardo’s tango “Pájaro ciego”, recorded on May 28, 1941.

A requisite of the Victor company was why he had not recorded more numbers because they preferred Fiorentino for his cashbox hits.

The singer’s withdrawal did not influence his friendship with Pichuco or Fiore.
