    How we know

    Takes in our catalogue by the same orchestra in different years; the canon’s first orchestra is named.

Mano brava · Aníbal Troilo · 1952: A Troilo milonga re-recording that rarely gets aired because the famous 1940s original is usually preferred; Michael, after hearing it, still prefers the 1940s version.†
