Tango from Uruguay - Duelo Criollo, 1939

[PlanetTango]

No tienen nada original señores uruguayos?

Hasta los chivitos resulta que son emparedados de lomo.

[carlospicchio]

no es de Jose Razzano ,es de Juan Rezzano !!!!

Muy lindo, pero..... no es un tango de Uruguay!!! Estas confundiendo Juan Rezzano (el author de Duelo Criollo) con José Razzano (el gran cantor). Este ultimo era uruguayo, de Montevideo, Juan Rezzano nacio en Genova, Italia!!

Grzegorz,

FABULOSO TANGO!

This is TANGO at it's BEST!

Love that P I A NO....so SENSUAL!

Those VIOLINS and that PLAINTIVE VOCAL are SUBLIME.

Love your BRILLIANT video!

That KNIFE really got MY attention.

Gracia Amigo....:-)

Genia! It's right the knife drew your attention, for it is THE SAME knife Rudy held in his hand while running in fury around the table, chasing poor Greta. Don't you remember that scene in July 1926 in Biarritz, when he found her having a rendez-vous with Azimova, who he happened to be so much in love with for the whole two weeks of that season?

The very essence of "swashbuckling."

Hi B., dash, what is "swashbuckling"? Have mercy on my Yinglisch, pleeeze...

[barbcard]

A "swashbuckler" is a dare devil, someone who strikes or flourishes his shield. Mercy on your Plinglish; it's a hell of a lot better than my Polski, Francais, Italiano, etc.

A hot tango and fine pictures of passionate dancers and duelers.

Thanks D., preparing this clip was one more little lesson of international habits and cultures again. Heve you ever heard about the "Creole Duel"? - that kind of a men's fight we have seen so often in American movies (especially, when the action was located somewhere in New Orleans area in XIX/XXcenturies) - when they both hold knives or short sabers in one hand and second hand & forearm is wrapped into a thick felt or another such stuff?

[dzheger]

Never heard of it, though I must have seen it in films -- the image seems vaguely familiar.  Strangely, about three years ago while searching for a project (never before mentioned :)) I bumped into another duel form which I had not heard of before: the "mensur". It was popular in the 19th century among fraternities in Germany and Austria (and to some degree in Poland).

Hi Grzegorz - the orchestration is marvellous - vocals as well. Frames 3:05 and 3:11 - fabulous!  Thanks!!!

Hi Lana, yes, that must be a PERFECT tune for the argentine tango training! I regret I allowed to go off my body's memory so many of tango figures and tricks I used to be quite good in, when I was slimer (and younger, naturellement)
