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

The leader is Pedro Laurenz, 1943, with 93% of the 127 filmed dances matched to a version of this song.

“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.
