Music Hall
An Argentine label founded in 1950 that grew into one of the country's most important record companies, with tango and folk first and, in the 1970s and 1980s, Argentine rock.[1]
Music Hall was created in 1950 and issued its records under the Music Hall, Sazam and TK labels.[1] In its first decades it recorded folk and tango, with artists such as Astor Piazzolla, Aníbal Troilo, Leopoldo Federico and Alberto Castillo, and later became one of the main labels of Argentine rock.[1]
Its company, Sicamericana, went bankrupt in 1993 and the catalogue stood still in the courts until 2016, when the Instituto Nacional de la Música recovered it.[1]
In our catalogue Music Hall's tango runs from 1951 to 1988: José Basso, Carlos Di Sarli (1951–1954), Los Solistas de D'Arienzo, Los Astros del Tango and Rodolfo Biagi.[2]

Notes4
Di Sarli's comeback recordings were made for Music Hall, a foreign company whose vinyl records had rights problems and which few people could even play at the time, so these recordings went largely unheard until much later, the same fate as Troilo's Tecal sides.
Single sourceThe Music Hall recording dates for Di Sarli come from CDs by Babasan in Japan, which cannot explain their source; the Music Hall and Takt Art session registers are lost, whereas Odeon's survives and Victor's exists but is hard to see.
