For the 4th week of Apr.2017 - we chose a video uploaded on Apr.03-2013 by our friend Dr.240252 titled "'LaCumparsita' - Tango by Carlos Molina - 1931". It needs to be noted briefly that Dr.240252 translated the title to this arguably most famous Tango in the world - as "the hidden one" which we have not seen in any of the translations - of which prevailing majority translates that titles as "The small musical band" which reflects the Tango slang language of the early twentieth century.
Carlos Molina - a Colombian Tango master uses a rich orchestration which keeps the slow beat - lending itself more to listening than to dancing even though - according to the comments by this video - some famous dancers like Martha Graham performed their Tango to this particular arrangement. Still for the "normal", ballroom dancers - a bit faster beat would be easier to execute the ballroom moves of Tango.
The video is dedicated to tango3721 - who edits this weekly features - as you will find out when you read the comments by this video which are very interesting. The composer of this famous Tango - An Uruguayan - Matos Rodriguez - made this piece his enormous claim to international fame.
At any rate - enjoy the video plus all the comments and have a good 4th week of April 2017 - everybody! As always keep checking our channel - tango3721 and don't forget to click here next Thursday or Friday of next week to find out which will be our choice of the Video of the Week for next week!

Our YT Pick for Vid of the Wk - "Hug Me, Squezze Me, Kiss Me - Tango pressed 1935".
For this 3rd week of Apr.2017 - the Easter 2017 and Passover 2017 - weeks - we picked the older video by our friend Dr.240252 - titled "Hug Me, Squeeze Me, Kiss Me - Tango Pressed by Syrena/Electro Warsaw Record Company in 1935" - uploaded on May 21 - 2008.
The lovely music to this Tango was composed by a lesser known Warsaw composer - B.Krupinski with the poetic lyrics written by a prominent Warsaw lyricist/manager of many successful Warsaw venues - Andrzej Wlast. The vocals are performed expertly by Tadeusz Falishewski who sang many Tangos as well as other genres in 1930 - 1939 - the years of prominent artistic activities in Warsaw - before the outbreak of the Second World War in 1939. It takes a very seasoned performer to be able to convey the sentimental but subdued tone of this piece the way Falishewski - accomplished it.
Enjoy the video and have a good Easter or Passover week - everybody - whatever holiday applies to you! As always check out our YT channel tango3721 and - please - click here next week so you can find out our YT Choice of the Video of the Week for next week!

As a powerful, talented and famous celebrity of his day - he also "accumulated" a big number of jealous detractors who hated his work since they couldn't come up to his level of mastery.
At the end of the day - however - his legacy continues to grow - while the detractors - disappeared - rather soon - following their "efforts".
Moreover - the numbers of his fans who become familiar with his work due to YouTube - keep growing every day. His temporary enemies - on the other hand - disappeared for good - a short time after their brief opportunity to take a "cheap pot shot" at the famous, talented celebrity.
At any rate - have a good week - everybody! Enjoy the coming spring! We meet here - a week from today!

Our Choice for YT Vid of the Wk. for 1st Wk of Apr.2017 - "Tango - 'Loca'" by Tengiz Mosidze.
For the first week of Apr.2017 - we chose a Tango Video uploaded by Tengiz Mosidze who uploads a lot of Tango videos from Russia. He uploaded a new video on March 30 - 2017 - a performance from Moscow's 2016 - yearly Tango Fest - held every October in Moscow.
Kurkatov's lead comes off as confident and decisive - but his partner follows him with a lot of self-assurance and her own initiative. Sergey Kurkatov and Yulia Borenicheva - prove that they have mastered Argentine Tango's advanced moves which they execute in an easy, relaxed fashion. Theirs is not a staged, highly choreographed for theatrical performance - number.
The "Solo Tango Orchestra" almost always presents a terrific number of their own - even though they manage not to "upstage" the dancers. The players - two violins - the bandoneon (a Tango version of accordion - currently used only in Tango orchestras) and their grand piano player - all put on a good show - in their own right.
At any rate - have a good first week of April 2017 - everybody! As always - don't forget to check out our channel tango3721 and - please - click here next Thursday or Friday of next week for our choice of YT Video of the Week for next week!

Our Choice for the YT Vid of the Wk - "Opjum 1933-Henryk Gold Orchestra & Stefan Vitas".
Our choice for YT Video of the Week for the fourth week of March 2017 is a video uploaded by our friend - Dr.240252 on March 21-2017 titled "Opjum 1933 - Henryk Gold Orchestra - the vocals - Stefan Witas."
This hypnotic slow Waltz - composed by Artur Gold - creator of many fabulous Tangos and other musical pieces - has gathered many thousands of fans throughout the years. The instrumental arrangement of the famous Warsaw orchestra led by Henryk Gold (Artur's famous cousin) - stands out but doesn't upstage the terrific vocals by Stefan Witas (a Warsaw Opera singer) who performed a lot of Tangos during the Warsaw's Renaissance of sorts from 1930 till 1939 when the sudden, massive invasion of Poland - by the powerful Nazi armies - almost destroyed Warsaw.
The orchestra leader Henryk Gold was famous in his own right - not only as a cousin of a famous in Warsaw at that time - composer - Artur Gold who frequently - had the magnficent lyrics to his exquisite Tangos - written by Andrzej Wlast - a prominent lyricist/manager of many popular Warsaw venues. He wrote the super hypnotic lyrics to this piece.
Some small Warsaw critics called Andrzej Wlast - a "king of kitch". The only explanation of their behavior could be found in an opinion regarding the professional critics - issued by a famous French thinker - Voltaire - whose theory - about some critics whom he considered - vicious to no end goes something like this - "they are just like the eunuchs - despising the creative, talented people who make love - freely." It's a pity that Voltaire was a prominent anti-Semite - or else he would be respected by a lot of people.
Back to Artur Gold - Henryk Gold's cousin - who unfortunately - perished in Nazi's reign of terror at the relatively young age - his early forties - with the similar fate meeting Andrzej Wlast. Henryk Gold - Artur's older cousin - escaped Poland - thank God - then came to the U.S. where he was successful for a long, long time.
Enjoy the vid and the breathtaking artwork provided - as usually - by Dr.240252 - and have a good last week of March 2017 - everybody! As always - please - don't forget to click here next Thursday or Friday - for our Choice of YT Video of the Week for next week - also check out our channel - tango3721!

Our choice of the YT video of the week for the third week of March 2017 - "Tango 'Patetico' by Dmitry Vasin and Carla Espinosa" was uploaded by Tengiz Mosidze who uploads tons of beautiful Tango videos from Russia. This vid was produced on Nov. 03 - 2014 right after the yearly October Moscow Tango Festival for that year.
His lady partner - Carla Espinosa was his partner only a few months before that performance - which is hard to believe since the dancers who dance on that level - frequently practice several years - polishing a championship piece.
The music sounds heavenly - the Tango composer Osvaldo Pugliese came up with a lot of totally breathtaking Tangos; their routine is a highly staged choreography with her magnificent dress appearing like a star of the video in its own right. Of course - she has the right kind of physique to successfully wear this kind of sexy garment.
The "Solo Tango Orchestra" with their super talented musicians outperforming themselves - makes for a great accompaniment - especially the piano player stands out. Notice the enthusiastic viewers' comments by this video.
Now compare this highly artistically intense dance video with another one - Dmitry Vasin's - easy, relaxed performance with another partner - Sagdiana Hamzina which Tengiz Mosidze uploaded on March 16 - 2017. The performance took place during the yearly Moscow's - October 2016 - Tango Festival. Francisco Canaro - another famous Argentinian Tango composer came up with a famous Tango - "Poema" which sounds on par with Osvaldo Pugliese's - magnificent "Patetico".
That vid shows Vasin and Hamzina - relaxed and having fun - nevertheless they execute a lot of difficult Argentine Tango moves - in a fun and and easy manner - the moves are not the highly choreographed "stagey" ones as presented in the first video. Take notice of her hands - how elegantly they look - not the spread out "claws" - at all - which at times are visible in even the accomplished female Tango dancers.
At any rate - have a good third week of March 2017 - everybody! As always don't forget to click our channel tango3721 and click here next Thursday March 23 - 2017 or Friday March 24 - 2017 to check out our choice for YT Video of the week for next week!

Our YT Vid of the Wk Pick for the 2nd Wk of March 2017 - Dr.240252 "Adam Aston-Dobranoc Kochanie 1938".
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!
