Polish Tango 1932: Adam Aston - Idź, nie wracaj (Go! Don't Come Back!)

Adam Aston (pseud.: A.Wiński) & Ork. Henryka Golda – Idź, nie wracaj! (Go! Don’t Come Back!) Tango z teatru Morskie Oko (from theatre Morskie Oko revue) Muz. Henryk Wars – Tekst A.Włast, Columbia 1932 (Polish) NOTE: Here’s one more beautiful Polish tango from the 1930s. It is composed by Henryk Wars: king of Polish prewar composers. Born in 1902 in Warsaw as Henryk Warszawski he was brought up in a wealthy Polish/Jewish family. He gained a solid musical education at the Warsaw Conservatory in class of composition and piano, but after the graduation he turned towards a lighter music and sterted conducting dance bands in various Warsaw cabarets of the Jazz Age. Fascinated with American jazz, Henryk Wars in 1928 presented to the Warsaw audience his first professional composition, a foxtrot “New York Times". The song however turned out to be a total flop, and Henryk Wars had to wait one year longer until his new composition “Zatańczmy tango” (Let’s Dance Tango) presented on stage of revue theatre Morskie Oko became a nationwide hit.    • Tadeusz Faliszewski - Zatańczmy tango (1929)   Wars became famous overnight and ever since, the success in the song never left him again. His great talent was noticed and Henryk Wars received more and more invitations to cooperate. His kind character helped him work well with the theatre and film producers and Henryk Wars soon became an influential personality in prewar musical scene in Warsaw. During the Golden Age of Polish song in the 1930s, Henryk Wars’ compositions were everywhere: he wrote revue hits as well as music for the best films with the best cast: "Spy in the Mask", "Love Maneuvers", "Forgotten Melody" and many more. His works were performed by the best artists: Eugeniusz Bodo, Adolf Dymsza, Hanka Ordonówna and Mieczysław Fogg. Every new song of Wars was hummed throughout Poland. Everyone knew, for example, choruses "I made an appointment with her for the ninth", "Ah, sleep my love", "Only in Lwów" or "It will be better"…. For several years he was also a musical director of the most powerful Polish record production “Syrena Electro”. All that suddenly ended, when the 2nd WW broke out in September 1939. The Wars family strongly identified itself with the Polish patriotic tradition and Henryk Wars immediately joined Polish Army to fight against German invasion on Poland. Captured by the Wehrmacht, he managed to jump out from the train, which was carrying soldiers to a German camp. He managed to get to the Soviet occupational zone of Poland and stayed in Lwów, where he immediately started organizing an orchestra. As a well-known personality he was allowed by the Soviet authorities to arrange a dance-jazz ensemble called the Tea-Jazz and even the permission was granted for the tours around the Soviet Empire. The Tea-Jazz quickly became a harbor for many Polish singers and musicians who otherwvise would have wandered in despair around the Soviet-occupied part of Poland, suffering joblessness, hunger and therat of the arrest. Singers such as Eugeniusz Bodo, Renata Bogdańska, Zofia Terne or Albert Harris jouned the Tea Jazz and traveled around the Soviet Union until in June 1942 Germany attacked USSR and the Sikorski-Stalin pact was signed, allowing Polsh soldiers who had been captured in the USSR be released from workcamps and to join the newly formed Polish Army in Exile. All Tea Jazz artists joined the new Polish Army, with which Henryk Wars and his artists left the Soviet Union soon thereafter and for several years followed the Allied Forces into Iran, Palestine, Egypt and Italy. After the war, Henryk Wars decided to stay away from the communist-occupied Poland and he traveled to the US. After several years of anonimity, Henryk Wars (now billed as: Henry Vars) was offered a good job with the music for the Western film the "Big Heat" directed by Fritz Lang. He started composing again. Soon, he wrote music for many well known movies, including the “Flipper” (1963) or the “Fools Parade” (1971) with James Stewart and Kurt Russell. In 1967 Wars visited Poland. His house in Hollywood was always wide open for Polish artists arriving in USA. He died in LA, California in 1977. The slideshow presents the pinup portraits of many silver-screen divas of prewar Polish cinema. Many of them, e.g. Hanka Ordonówna, Jadwiga Smosarska, Loda Halama or Ina Benita starred in the movies with music written by Henryk Wars.
