a version people dance tono Dances matched yet: something to listen to

The leader is Alfredo Gobbi, 1947, with 47% of the 30 filmed dances matched to a version of this song.

92 more dances name this song but not which version, so no share counts them. “No match yet” means no filmed dance is tied to that version so far, not that nobody dances it. Dances whose music we have not identified are left out.

Choose A and B on two recordings to hear them one after the other.
