Here's the very first tanda I shared for the original
Ricardo Malerba (1905–1974) was an Argentine bandoneón player, composer, and orchestra leader known for his elegant and rhythmic tango style. Leading his own orchestra from the 1940s, he created music that was both danceable and expressive. With singer Orlando Medina, he recorded memorable tangos such as Gitana rusa and Remembranza. Though not as widely known as some contemporaries, Malerba’s refined approach and steady rhythm made his orchestra a favorite among milonga dancers.
