agunate el chaco lapta madree!jaaja quien lo puede creer q un tipoo tan grande nacio aca en medio del montee..lo re banco!si dios quiere algun dia tambien saldre de aca con mi musica!!
@harryoakley I 've readed in an great book that, even if Aleman was a monster player early on ,playing slide ,and a lot of differents amazing styles when in came to Paris with Josephine Baker ; his playing was later influenced by Django ... And I've readed also that Django asked Oscar sometimes to fill up fo him when he was not in the mood for playing ...
Some cab calloway style extravagance in the performance - miming terrible - but what a tight rhythm! I read somewhere that Snr Aleman and Django met in occupied Paris, playing across the road from each other. Eddie Lang and Lonnie Johnson duets are timeless.
Es la energía interna la que te separa del resto, yo lo miro a Oscar y digo: yo soy un pelotudo, un muerto, tengo menos "ganas" que Cantinflas, soy una oscura sombra... todos estamos muertos...nuestra vida es una m....y no me vengan con reproches ni excepciones, la mayoría vive una vida espantosamente aburrida y sin ningún finnnnnnnn, ningún finnnn, los que manejan el mundo lo saben, y se nos rien en la cara, que boludos somos, Oscarcito viejo y peludo nomassss!!!!
totalmente de acuerdo, q vida mediocre la nuestra y pensar q la unica meta de muchas personas es ganar 30, 40 lukas por mes, q lejos! q chikitos al lado de este genio, y ni sikiera lo conocen! del chaco lokooo una masa el negro.
este video es una joya, todo este material debería estar clasificado como patrimonio cultural de la humanidad. Oscar inigualable, sublime, único, ayer hoy y por siempre
What a wonderful clip! I never thought I'd see footage of Aleman. Incidentally, according to the liners of "The Guitarists" on Time-Life, Aleman didn't like Django Reinhardt's playing!
As for the "Hendrix" comment, I'd like to think that the poster was referring to Aleman's virtuosity and dancing. It was sad that Hendrix's drug use shortened his life, but I thought he played quite well and he practiced a GREAT deal. Don't judge him by the nights he was showing off, I'd say.
Look, post your comments about Hendrix in Hendrix video clips. I have no idea why some of you folks feel the need to mention Hendrix in an Oscar Alemán clip. Oscar lived a long prolific life and had the common sense to turn his head if he had to puke rather than choking on his own vomit.
Osca Aleman un grande de la guitarra y del show, lástima que habiendo nuevas tecnologías no recuperan la imagen y el sonido original de ésta y muchas películas argentinas.
dejen de molestar con luisiana y nada, oscar aleman, argentino nacido en chaco y aprendio a tocar con un brasilero. Lejos uno de los mejores guitarristas de todos los tiempos.
Oscar Aleman and Django Reinhardt were part of the "Le Jazz Hot" movement in Paris in the 1930's, which was a style greatly influenced by the playing of Joe Venuti and Eddie Lang in the USA. They also were influential in the development of Western Swing music, most widely popularized by Bob Wills.Other prominent jazz performers in Paris at the time were Josephine Baker and Bricktop. Aleman returned to Argentina in the 1930's and continued to record there until his death in 1980.

I don't know about that. While I totally dig Hendrix, live he needed to work on his sound, chops, and he should have laid off of the dope. Hendrix was very groovy, but he was a false prophet. Alemán's the real deal!
Actually, the origins of Oscar Alemán are the brazilian music and the French gypsy jazz, style he also developed with Django Reinhardt. At that time, western swing did not exist, and nobody in Argentina knew country music. This has all black roots, like boogie woogie and jazz.
Well, Western Swing started in the 30's so I would say that it definitely did exist at the time of this film (40's?). Whatever Aleman's background and influences, that's some fine boogie piano and if that fiddle player's never heard Bob Wills I would be very surprised indeed. Leon McAuliffe (steel player) could slot in here with no visible join. Parallel evolution? I dunno, but if it walks like a duck and qucks like a duck...
I mean Western Swing did not exist in Argentina untill the late fifties, after the arrive of the Bill Halley and his Comets recordings, or any place in South America. The violin was actually taken from the French gypsy swing style, when Alemán lived in France with Django Reinhardt. Django's violinist was a classical trained called Stéphane Grappelli. The boogie comes from the Alemán's black influences (for example, he was part of Josephine Baker's band), and pianists like Pete Johnson.
People, Oscar Aleman was a popular Argentine guitar player who, in spite of his nick name (German) was black. An exception in a country with very small black community. He was superb to say the least.
No, but it does look like him. This is the first rock and roll band I think. He sounds like Chuck Berry at times. This really doesn't live up to some of his better recordings. It is great to see though.
Course this is not Django! This is Oscar Alemán! He was Django's friend when he lived in France, and, believe it or not, he also contributed to the gypsy swing developement.
dunno, sounds very rock n roll to me hahaha, love it. no matter how we name it, it's awesome music
