Episode 10 of Tangos Despreciados, a tango program by Chris Zaal and Richard Frisart about underrated tangos and tango orchestras. This time, it’s about the orchestra of Domingo Federico.
Domingo Federico’s orchestra went against the prevailing tango fashion in the mid-1940s: while in most orchestras, the rhythm faded into the background, Federico’s orchestra often has a constant beat, which can sometimes feel a bit demanding. He also sometimes lets the singers be heard during the intro of a tango, almost a mortal sin in the world of tango salons. But for those who are open to it, there is much to discover in Domingo Federico’s music.
