Donato had a typical 1930s orchestra that was part of the ‘rhythmical school’ of tango, and in my opinion his orchestra doesn’t always get the credits it deserves. In the early ‘30s, when tango as dance music was going through a difficult time, Edgardo Donato put the punch back in tango, with tangos like ‘El Huracán’ and ‘Tierrita’ – before the rise of d’Arienzo & Biagi – and it’s not a surprise he recorded some really strong milongas as well. In this week’s tanda I’ve included some of his best known milongas:'El Torito' , 'Sacale punta', and 'La milonga que faltaba'. The first track, ‘El Torito’ is an instrumental, written by Ángel Villoldo (who also wrote ‘El Choclo’). It was originally written as a tango criollo – around 1910 there was not such a clear difference between tango and milonga yet, and many tangos were played with a habanera rhythm. Over the years, some of those songs became popular as tangos, this one became a milonga.It’s nice milonga to start the tanda, with lots of opportunities to do some playful traspies. Next is ‘Sacale punta’, a milonga everyone knows. Written by Osvaldo Donato, Edgardo’s brother and also the pianist in his orchestra. Singers are Horacio Lagos, Donato’s lead singer at the time, and ‘Randona’, a pseudonym of Armando Julio Piovani, who also played the violin in Donato’s orchestra.And there’s a prominent role for Osvaldo Bertone (or Bertolín), playing the accordion on this milonga – and the next one as well. The third and final milonga in this tanda is perhaps the most popular one by Donato: ‘La milonga que faltaba’. Edgardo Donato wrote the music himself, and the lyrics are in Lunfardo, the slang of Buenos Aires, written by Carlos Pesce. Enjoy! Please note: We do not own the music in this video.
