10/2025 José García y sus Zorros Grises with Alfredo Rojas
By the late 1930s, José García y sus Zorros Grises were already matching the top orchestras of the era in musical quality. These recordings from 1942-1944 make one of my favorite tandas.
José García y sus Zorros Grises
By the late 1930s, José García y sus Zorros Grises were already matching the top orchestras of the era in musical quality. However, it wasn't until 1942 that they signed a recording contract, producing 40 tracks between then and April 1945. Of these, only four were instrumentals — but 33 featured the smooth vocals of Alfredo Rojas.
From this rich material, it's easy to build two to three excellent tandas for dancing.
The Zorros Grises Orchestra is a rhythmical group with a well marked beat and several beautifully melodic midtempo songs. The original recordings were also done in great quality and you can clearly hear all the instruments and vocals in perfect balance. These days it's also easy to find the songs in good quality from your preferred online music store.
