RCA Victor

"RCA Victor" is the catalogue title of a 1936 recording by the orchestra of Juan D'Arienzo with the singer Walter Cabral [1][2]. Sources give different recording dates, 9 June 1936 and 9 July 1936 [1][2][3]. Todotango identifies it as Cabral's last recording [2][3].

"RCA Victor" is the title under which this recording is catalogued. It is attributed to the orchestra of Juan D'Arienzo [1][2]. The vocal is credited to Walter Cabral .

A D'Arienzo discography gives matrix number 93194 and the label issue Victor 37937-A [1]. Sources differ on the recording date. The discography and the Spanish-language Todotango biography of Cabral point to 9 June 1936. The English-language Todotango biography points to 9 July 1936 [1][2][3]. The TangoCloud catalogue entry for the singer credit carries a third date, 6 March 1936 .

Recording

The recording is attributed to the orchestra of Juan D'Arienzo [1][2]. The La Milonga di Alvin discography of D'Arienzo dates the session to 9 June 1936 [1]. It lists matrix number 93194 for the recording [1]. It also lists the label issue Victor 37937-A [1].

The English-language Todotango biography of Walter Cabral associates the recording with 9 July 1936 instead [2]. The sources therefore differ on the date, and this article treats it as disputed [1][2][3]. The TangoCloud catalogue records the singer credit with the date 6 March 1936 .

Singers

The TangoCloud recording catalogue credits Walter Cabral as the singer . Two Todotango biographies of Cabral by Carlos Álvarez identify this recording as his last recording [2][3]. They differ on the date: the English version gives 9 July 1936, and the Spanish version gives 9 June 1936 [2][3].

Notes1

A less-often-played D'Arienzo waltz, chosen deliberately instead of the usual top half-dozen; unusual for stressing the second beat of the bar.Single source
