LA AVENTURA DEL TANGO: EL BARRIO DE LAS LATAS

LA AVENTURA DEL TANGO: EL BARRIO DE LAS LATAS

ANTONIO PIPPO Columnista Del barrio de las latas es un tango –letra de Emilio Fresedo y música de Raúl de los Hoyos- estrenado en 1926. En noviembre de ese año Gardel lo grabó dos veces: la primera en el sistema acústico y la segunda en el sistema eléctrico. Hay, como curiosidad, una versión instrumental de Aníbal Troilo, de 1968. EMILIO FRESEDO RAUL DE LOS HOYOS A ese barrio de tan extraño…

Vagar... Con el cansancio de mi eterno andar, Tristeza amarga de la soledad Ansias enormes de llegar. Sabrás... Que por la vida fui buscándote, Que mis ensueños sin querer vencí Que en algún cruce los dejé. #buscandote #fresedo #damian&laia #tangoculturapopular #sanrafael #exhibición #lamaquinatanguera (en San Rafael, Mendoza) https://www.instagram.com/p/B7EQmA6FR8L/?igshid=15qfpirn39min

Fresedo + Ruiz

This is orchestra Fresedo with singer Ricardo Ruiz. Fresedo was a bandoneonist. His family was rich (his father was a businessman). The tangos with Ruiz are from late 30s and early 40s, I think, but Fresedo was already successful much earlier, in the 20s. Even before that he played with Firpo and Canaro, and also recorded with Gardel in the 20s. Towards the end of the 20s he already had 5 orchestras or so. He was super successful.

His style: romantic, posh, also including unconventional instruments. Whenever you hear harp, for instance, it's Fresedo, so it's easy to recognize. Sometimes he also uses drums and vibraphones. His singers: sweet voices. Ray and Ruiz are the most famous. In style he influences di Sarli a lot. Di Sarli was actually leading one of Fresedo's 5 orchestras, that's probably partly why.

Finally, Fresedo also composed pieces like 'Vida mia' and 'Sollozos' (both with Ray, another day).

CANTO DE AMOR - Orquesta Z (2013) como Fresedo/Ray (1934)

A friend yesterday said he couldn't get this song out of his mind!  Written in 1934 by the team of Osvaldo Fresedo with lyrics by his brother Emilio, and recorded in Buenos Aires that year with singer Roberto Ray, this tango is another classic in the romantic melodies by this famous composer.

I've rearranged this for our tango sexteto Orquesta Z, so the piano had to substitute for the famous harp and the 2nd bandoneon took the clarinets and trumpets and whatever...this was the beginning of the big orchestras in Argentina, with multiple violins and bandoneons creating a rich tapestry of sound. 

This tango, and the earlier "Sollozos" which are a wonderful pair of early Fresedo tangos.

SOLLOZOS - Orquesta Z (2013) como Osvaldo Fresedo con Roberto Ray (1937)

Written in 1931 by the great tango band leader Osvaldo Fresedo, with lyrics by his brother Emilio consoling a woman who has lost her love and is "sobbing", thus "sollozos"...this tango illustrates the  smooth beauty of tango orchestration that marked Fresedo throughout his career.

And where much of the tango music popular in the 30's was heavily rhythm with the likes of D'Arienzo and Canaro, here is perhaps one of the sweetest tangos written.  I love it, and Orquesta Z will definitely play it as part of our repertoire in the future.

BUSCÁNDOTE - Orquesta Z (2013) como Osvaldo Fresedo con Ricardo Ruíz (1941)

I heard this piece last at a milonga at the Portland, Oregon Valentango Festival and was reminded has sweet it was...again 1941 a vintage year for both beat and melody.  Still Fresedo has three musical key changes in the piece and sophisticated counter-melodies throughout the piece.  Also, a distinquishing characteristic was a symphonic harp for embellishment!

The words, written by Eduardo Scalise, are so typical...a man walking eternally to find his true love, by accident at a crossroads...so desirous of resting in her arms...but so quick to walk away and return to his eternal quest which he will never attain...thus Buscándote..."searching for you"...
