a version people dance tono Dances matched yet: something to listen to
The leader is Juan D'Arienzo, 1941, with 64% of the 186 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.
One recording
A dated take, with its sound and the couples dancing it.

Él no hablaba mucho, hablaba poquito, pero en cuatro palabras te explicaba más que otro en doscientas.
