13/2025 - Ángel D'Agostino with Ángel Vargas - Nostalgic Argentine Tango Tanda
I believe nobody captures that nostalgic style of tango better than Ángel D'Agostino with Ángel Vargas. This beautiful and calm, possibly early hours tanda sets the mood right from the first notes and has us strolling down Corrientes and Florida haunted by lost love.
As much as I love the tangos of Ángel D'Agostino, I used to struggle to play more of them at milongas. Not anymore—this tanda has become one of my go-tos when the atmosphere is calm enough.
Creating the tanda
Pero yo sé is composed and written by the Argentine tango singer, composer and actress Azucena Maizani (1902-1970) and the song became one of her best known. It was recorded also by singer Charlo with both the Francisco Canaro and Francisco Lomuto orchestras (1928), Ernesto Famá with Osvaldo Fresedo (1928) and even Raúl Berón with Aníbal Troilo in 1954.
