[TANGO-L] female singers - femenine voices



Hi list

yes, there are some CDs with recordings such as the commented in the posting about "Voces femeninas" .
The problem as i see it, and was part of my general comment,was to play this music into a danceable tanda .
I am looking for a style of singing that could be played in a tanda to dance , say, Ada Falcon , three or four songs, or Rosita Quiroga .

I listened to that CD of Voces femeninas, and is good as a sample of the actual female singers.

There are other series of CDs "Music from the courtyards of san telmo / Musica de los patios de San Telmo " that also have recordings from ,. say , Beba Bidart, Virginia Luque, Nelly Vazquez,. Elba Beron , but once again , there are big differences from one song to the other .

Rossana Falasca was a young girl that sung in the 604s a kind of Karen Carpenter , in a tango way . Unfortunately Falasca died from a cancer ailment being very young , < 30,.

But the surrounding music to her voice was too "latin" ,same problem than Susy Leiva , the voice is fantastic, the music is ... colateral ....

Anyway Rossana Falasca has a beautiful render of "Quedemonos aqui " , a tango cancion made by Exposito brothers and music from Stampone.

Tita Merello deserves a special section of comments , she was an actress, singer , music hall dancer , radio anchor speaker, TC anchor speaker,etc.etc..

Tita begun singing as early as the 304s, on stage, performing in theatres and music halls . But , curiously , her first recordings were made in  the 504s , so this is a very interesting experience, to listen her voice, recorded in a reasonable media support, and with a technology that provide a decent background sound.
I am thinking on a CD , La Merello ,
 that could be a sampler of all the tangos and milongas she use to sung ( because Se dice de mi is a milonga, that she sung at the argentine movie "El abasto )
Also her version of El Choclo is excellent.
And Tita was a composer also, she have many tangos in a Discepolian style like Decime Dios ... donde estas .
In this CD  , Tita sings Los ejecutivos , a song written by Maria Elena Walsh , a person who I would like to comment as an ending to this posting.


Maria Elena Walsh is a poet, singer, musician, composer, that is mainly renowned for her songs for children, that are played once and again by several generations of people in Argentina. She made such a compilation of musical styles from allover the country, that this humble posting could not be wide enough to mention .

There is a CD that could resume her performances non children oriented, El Buen modo, de puqo y letra , an assorted selection of music, that includes her version of Cuando  tu no estas .

This could be an interesting experience, to listen this popular songs, most of them folklore songs, but some excellent ballads also such as El Valle y el Volcan , sung by Jairo , an excellent singer that includes tangos in his performances ( his version of Naranjo en flor is simply unforgetable )

Well ,  I went a bit romantic I think :):)

warm regards
