1928

  1. A record not yet identified

    An instrumental of a Schiammarella tango later made famous by Pugliese; complex, dense music with Vardaro and a second violin who plays a separate line.

    Only in the episode

  2. Agua florida

    After-party: a link to last week's D'Agostino-Vargas version from 1941, here 13 years earlier with Vardaro on violin.

1929

  1. Milagrosa Virgencita

    From Petrucelli's own orchestra (he had also directed Victor's house orchestra); the violin countermelody, played by Elvino Vardaro, stands out.

  2. Tan Grande y Tan Zonzo

    Luis Díaz

    Comic title, 'so big and so stupid'; chat listeners likened the busy arrangement, with a true violin countermelody and complex piano chords under the vocal, to jazz.
