For the 2nd week of March 2017 for our choice of YT Video of the Week - we chose a lovely Tango uploaded by our friend - Dr. 240252 on May 5 - 2009 - titled "Dobranoc Kochanie" - loosely translated to "Goodnight - My Love". The lyrics are simple but moving - nevertheless - a true mark of a seasoned lyricist. The vocals are done superbly by Adam Aston - Jewish/Polish singer, a Tango Great who could perform all kinds of other genres equally well - as a much beloved Warsaw performer from the 1930's through 1939 - the onset of the Second World War which destroyed most of Warsaw talents. Aston was one of the few lucky Jewish stars who escaped the Nazi terror.
This Tango was composed and the lyrics written by a less known Warsaw Tango duo - Karasinski/Freewald. The most popular Tango creators - at that time - were Gold/Wlast - a team most popular at that time and deservedly so - however - this piece by Karasinski/Freewald is not less lyrical and no less excellent than any popular Tangos produced by Gold/Wlast with Wlast owning and managing a number of famous Warsaw venues where all kinds of talents - showcased their magnificent creations. As we mentioned to you before - Warsaw Tangos from 1930 till 1939 were considered by many knowledgeable Tango experts - totally on par - and perhaps even superior a bit - as compared to Argentinian, French, Italian, Spanish and Russian - Tango masters who were also brilliant.
The arrangement of this Tango sounds very good done by Jerzy Gert - an outstanding band leader/arranger. They keep an even, ten measure beat - which is a real "dream come true" for the Tango dancers.
Everybody have a good second week of March 2017! As always - don't forget to check out our channel tango3721 and - please - click here next Thursday or Friday for Our Choice of YT Vdeo of the Week for next week!
