For this last week of July 2016 - we chose a lovely Tango composed by an unknown Chekhoslovakian composer K. Vacek which became an international hit in many countries. We have mentioned before that in addition to Argentina - the traditional cradle of magnificent Tangos where Tangos "morfed" into popular versions from their raw versions originated in seedy Buenos Aires port's night clubs.
Long story - short - many countries came up with lovely Tangos - France, Italy, Ukraine - however Warsaw, Poland - from 1930 to 1939 - produced a lot of breathtaking Tangos. All of them are easily available on Youtube.
Dajos Bela - a famous composer/arranger/band leader whose orchestra became famous all throughout Europe between 1930 - 1934 - featured a lot of excellent Tangos in his exquisite repertoire. However - when Adolph Hitler's - Third Reich started to terrorize Europe - Dajos Bela and his orchestra left for the United States where they continued their successful performances.
