notes

Tango historians have always looked down on the most popular artists. In the late 1930s, it is Juan D'Arienzo that they denigrate, and in the preceeding decade, it is Francisco Canaro. Never mind that he was the most recorded tango artist of all time! It's true that as the 30s became the 40s his music lost sublety, becoming almost martial in its beat, but in earlier years he still stands with the best. This CD presents some of his best recordings from that period, beginning with "A media luz" from 1926, his first electric recording.
