Luis Alonso

In Paris, Carlos Gardel reminded Luis Alonso of a tango that, on one occasion, he had shown him in Buenos Aires.

It was “Por qué me das dique” with music by Rodolfo Sciammarella.

On May 10, 1951, Oscar Larroca recorded it among his first recordings with the Alfredo De Angelis orchestra.

“Malena” by Lucio Demare y su Orquesta Típica with Juan Carlos Miranda in vocals, 1942.

Juan Carlos Miranda & Lucio Demare.Argentine music at escuela de Tango de Buenos Aires.Juan Carlos Miranda

Singer (23 July 1917 – 8 July 1999)

It was 1991, somebody introduced him to me and time later I saw him again.
It was in his working place, at the Escuela Técnica (Technical School), a branch of the Army located on Cabildo Avenue.
There he worked as barber.
It was by that time that I invited him to my program Siempre el tango (Always tango) on Radio Municipal.
It took place in the early months of 1992, on occasion of celebrating the fiftieth anniversary of the premiere of the tango “Malena”.

Miranda recorded “Malena” —after Troilo with Fiorentino had waxed it—, on January 23, 1942. 

He was the first one in singing it but not the first one in committing it to disc.

Lito Bayardo, with his guitar.

Lito Bayardo

Guitarist, singer, composer and lyricist (March 3, 1905 – March 7, 1986)

When he was asked about the present Tango, he said:

«A new modernist theory based on a cerebral but twisted tango has arisen. The work of the consecrated artists of the first stage has been underestimated to open the way to the music of hardened technique, which is not popular. There are great names among the musicians that interpret it, but they have spoiled the rhythm of true Tango».

“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.
