Orchestra

Joaquin Do Reyes

Joaquin Do Reyes led a tango orchestra whose first formation dates from around 1935, when he assembled a group for the Chantecler cabaret on Paraná and Corrientes in Buenos Aires [1]. The orchestra later recorded for the TK label from 1950 to 1954 and for RCA Victor between 1960 and 1962 [1].

Joaquin Do Reyes was born on 26 January 1905, according to one source [2]. Around 1935 he formed his first orchestra, which played at the Chantecler cabaret on Paraná and Corrientes [1].

His recording career with his own orchestra began in 1950, when he signed with the new TK label [1]. Over the following years he made 24 recordings for TK before that period ended in 1954 [1]. He later made six recordings for RCA Victor between 1960 and 1962 [1]. Do Reyes died in Buenos Aires in 1987 [1].

History

Around 1935 Joaquin Do Reyes formed his first orchestra, for the Chantecler cabaret located on Paraná and Corrientes [1]. The dossier gives this date only to the year, and the source places it "around this time" [1].

In 1950 he signed with TK, then a new label [1]. His TK period ended in 1954 [1]. From 1960 he recorded for RCA Victor, a period that ran through 1962 [1]. He died in Buenos Aires in 1987 [1].

Recordings

The orchestra recorded for two labels: TK and RCA Victor [1].

TK (1950–1954): his first recordings for the label were Trece and El amanecer [1]. In 1953 he recorded his instrumental Rastreando for TK [1]. By the end of the TK period in 1954 he had made 24 recordings for the label since 1950 [1].

RCA Victor (1960–1962): he made six recordings for RCA Victor, among them Decareando and Don Rosendo [1].
