Donato in 1942, part 1 of 4: Tu confidencia. A slow, sorrowful, ''odd'' type of Donato :: Lucas Antonisse

With this first song of a tanda, let's look at some of the defining features of Donato in 1942, when the orchestra slows down and sounds ''different'' but is still very much recognizable as Donato. INTRODUCTION TO THIS SERIES: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8A4zv... Link to full, uninterrupted song ''Tu confidencia'': https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xAnuJ... (Link to the referred, more ''standard'' Donato song from a year earlier: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-RJ8i...)

Qué me has hecho del cariño
que te di con manos llenas,
que le das al corazón
y pagás con esta pena.
Confidencia que desangro,
volcada en amargo llanto,
saber que perdí el encanto
de no verte nunca más.

Sólo sé que el corazón
va llorando como un niño,
no comprende de razón,
sólo quiere tu cariño.
Vendaval que al azotar
el rosal de mis antojos,
ponen tristezas en mis ojos,
trayendo frío a mi corazón.

Cuando pasen muchos años,
cuando estés ya de regreso,
comprenderás que tus besos
me mintieron sin piedad.
Me mató tu confidencia
cuando un día, fríamente,
atormentaste mi mente
con un... no te quiero más.

Ears + Heart + Feet: Talking About Tango Music :: Jessica Schilling

Jessica gave this presentation at the 2019 Albuquerque Tango Festival. This is a condensed "practice" version.


From the YouTube description: Let's talk about tango music! As dancers, knowing more about tango music's history and development can help us shine -- as well as make dancing a lot more fun. This talk from tango DJ Jessica Schilling goes over some of the history of tango music, what we can learn from the different eras of tango to help inform our dancing, and what we can bring with us into the milonga. It's a condensed version of a presentation given 9 November 2019 at the Albuquerque Tango Festival.

Big thanks to Pablo Stafforini for creating the wonderful "20 Tango Endings" video included in this talk!

Ignacio Varchausky :: Estilos Fundamentales de Tango Seminarios

I ran across this on YouTube and created a playlist - somewhere in the neighborhood of 20 or 22 hours of lectures by Ignacio Varchausky on the "fundamental styles of tango". All in Spanish, but no worries for those of us whose Spanish sucks. Click the little gear icon at the lower right of the video screen and turn on the auto-generated Spanish subtitles, let them populate, then click on "auto-translate" and pick your language. It will hesitate for a moment while it's queuing up. Thank God for Google.

Also note that Ignacio is the founder of TangoVia - a non-profit and website which aims at preserving, spreading and developing tango culture throughout the world. Be sure to check out their Tango CD collections, although the Spanish version website is better for this. Looks like you could find them on Amazon, but there are no direct purchase links.

There are also a dozen or so playlists on the Parkinson TeVe YouTube Channel, or click on "Videos" to see everything listed individually. Lots of stuff to watch and listen and ponder and learn here, including various live orchestra performances.

Here are the titles of the videos in the playlist I've created (above):

Pugliese
D'Arienzo
Piazzolla
La Milonga
Laurenz
El o Los Choclos
Calo
Fresedo
Francini-Pontier
De Caro
Elementos Basicos
Gobbi
Salgan
