Dancer

Michael Lavocah

Michael Lavocah is listed in the dossier as a dancer who commented on tango recordings, orchestras and compositions [1][2]. The material links him to commentary on the orchestras of Juan D'Arienzo and Aníbal Troilo, on RCA Victor and Odeon recordings, and on the compositions La cumparsita, El rey del bosque and Siga el baile [1][2][3][4].

Michael Lavocah is classified in the dossier as a dancer [1]. The available claims do not describe his life or dancing. They record only that he commented on recordings, orchestras and compositions [1][2][3][4].

The sources for these claims are two articles, "What's all the fuss about pitch?" and "Tango and Coffee: Is 'El tigre Millán' this year's 'Tormenta'?" [1][2], and two audio pages titled "Tango 1939" and "Tango 1943" [3][4]. None of the sources supplies a quoted excerpt, so the content of his comments cannot be reported here [1][2][3][4].

Commentary on orchestras

The dossier records Michael Lavocah as having commented on the orchestra of Juan D'Arienzo [1][2]. One such claim carries the date 18 April 1939 [1]. Another is dated to the year 1939 [2].

He is also recorded as having commented on the orchestra of Aníbal Troilo, in a claim covering the period 1939 to 1940 [2]. The dossier does not state what he said about either orchestra [1][2].

Commentary on recordings

Several claims connect Michael Lavocah with commentary on recordings identified by label [1][2]. Two separate RCA Victor recordings are each dated 3 March 1939 in claims sourced to the article on pitch [1]. A further RCA Victor recording is dated to 1939 [2].

Three Odeon recordings are also linked to his commentary [2]. One is dated to 1939, and the other two carry no date [2]. The dossier does not identify these recordings beyond their label names [1][2].

Commentary on compositions

The dossier links Michael Lavocah to commentary on La cumparsita, with a claim dated 16 October 2020 [3]. It also links him to El rey del bosque, with a claim dated 10 October 2020 [3]. Both claims are sourced to the "Tango 1939" page [3].

He is further recorded as having commented on Siga el baile, in a claim dated 3 May 2021 and sourced to the "Tango 1943" page [4]. The dossier does not make clear whether these dates refer to when the comments were made or to some other event [3][4].
