Tanturi's singer Alberto Castillo left in the middle of 1943 and was replaced by Enrique Campos; the saying in Argentina is that Castillo had the better voice, but Tanturi with Campos is better for dancing.[26]Single source

With Campos, Tanturi's rhythm stays strong but the violins thicken and the melody comes forward, giving dancers a better balance of rhythm and melody than with Castillo.[26]Single source

Tanturi's orchestra was nicknamed 'the medical orchestra' because it began among medical students.[27]Single source

By 1947 Tanturi no longer had his former singers Alberto Castillo or Campos; the new pair, Osvaldo Ribó and Roberto Videla, replaced them.[28]Single source

Castillo left Tanturi in August 1943; Tanturi needed a second singer urgently and chose Enrique Campos, whose audition was recorded.[29]Single source

Enrique Campos makes his last recordings with Tanturi in 1945 and Roberto Videla takes over.[30]Single source

Before a recent Tango Tunes release, the 1945-46 Tanturi recordings could not be heard in good quality anywhere.[30]Single source

Among Tanturi's two singers, Roberto Videla is more conventional (tenor-like) and preferred by dancers; Osvaldo Ribó has a higher voice, reminiscent of Roberto Rey or Jorge Maciel but less powerful, and deserves a chance.[31]Single source

1941 is a really good year for Tanturi: two uptempo tracks at the start (Pocas palabras, Comparsa criolla), then slower and fantastic for dancing; the instrumentals have only recently become available from Tango Tunes. Tanturi himself was a pianist but only played on the 1937-38 recordings.[32]Single source
