Well, this tango is El Choclo (the corn on the cob) It's one of the most famos of all tangos on all time! Was composed about 1903. In 1952 they put lyrics in English and turned it into Kiss of Fire. Nevertheless, it's EL CHOCLO that has prevailed, not only in Argentina but in all Latin America and most of the World

Perfect 15166 was issued in 1929.

@Corrie121 Yes, it was recorded very many times, in some cases under the name "Kiss of fire". I have like 20 different versions myself, including the Finnish one.

This is beautiful! Is the song to this tune called "Kiss of Fire"?
To answer your query; a "mantilla" is a scarf.
Thanks for sharing.

This is one of those tangos very very well known at least in Spain and I think in Latin America too and this is a beautiful rendition. Gorgeous picture of the lady with "mantilla". Thanks Lou.

Is "mantilla" the large fan?

Hey Lou, This band keeps a very good beat. I like the sound of Mark Weber a little better.
About Obama "socialism" - the important and powerful and smart "players" of his country - will most definitely - hold him back!!! I am spending a sensational full of "Pittsburgh Tangeros" - week in Pittsburgh, Pa which I love - where most of my family (totally obssessed) by Tango - has lived for last "good" several years. Thanks for posting and sharing!!!!
