Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse.(with new tangos.) Rudolph Valentino

Rudolph Valentino became famous in 1921
with the release of this film. It included the famous Tango Dance scene. It shows what a talented dancer he was.
I like this movie a lot, but I always
wondered what it would sound like with
more up to date tangos. By adding to the soundtrack 3 famous tangos , a new
look is created. It is only an experiment. Three tangos were selected.
A MEDIA LUZ, LA CUMPARSITA, and POR UNA
CABEZA. Hope you like the music. I read that LA CUMPARSITA was a favorite
tango of Valentino.
The 3 instrumental tangos used here are
associated with the great tango singer
Carlos Gardel. According to research done
over the years, it seems that Rudolph Valentino and Carlos Gardel never met. Yet
both of them are very important in making
the Tango popular all over the world. To
have Rudolph Valentino dancing to a Gardel
tango is sort of a tribute to both of them.
The film is based on the novel "Los Cuatros Jinetes del Apocalipsis" by Spanish
author Vicente Blasco Ibañez.

htis isn't the original music, right?

[albertdiner]

It's not the original music. I changed the

soundtrack for more popular argentinian tangos. Valentino liked to dance the tango LA CUMPARSITA with Pola.

[higgeroo]

God, he moves like a panther. I just love watching this. Does he dance in any of his other movies?

[LaTuaAlba]

I would Tango with Rudy any day!

KIEN ERA LA ACTRIZ Q AKOMPAÑA A VALENTINO EN ESTA PELIKULA?

[Emmytaytay1]

Rudy is too gorgeous (in the most masculine way possible).

[TheLadyMalfoy]

@LaTuaAlba So would I.  :-)

[TheLadyMalfoy]

@TheAolele I agree with you, completely. It's an excellent book. And, as you so rightly point out, Rudy's father and his father's family were Italian through and through, not Russian. Also, his father wasn't a circus performer or a gypsy. Rudy's father attended the University of Naples where he earned a degree in veterinary science, and continued to work as a veterinarian up to his untimely death. He also served in the Italian military (cavalry) as most of the men in his family.

there it is nevermind

[RatherCrunchyMuffin]

@albertdiner could you tell me the name of the first tango please

[ibbiwho]

@TheAolele Yawn, yes we have all heard that one.You can be French and Italian and still be a Gypsy. Most Gypsies kept their ethnicity secret. And where did his father work, with the circus, supposedly as a vet.

[TheAolele]

@ibbiwho Anyone wishing to read a fascinating and factual biography of Mr. Valentino should try "Dark Lover" by Emily Leider. His father was Italian, his mother French.

[TheAolele]

I love the phrase "youthful libertine". Mr. Valentino was perfection.

[GraefinVonSalamanca]

I never get tired to watch Rudy while Tango dancing. he was PERFECT.
