That may be surprising to some: Sassone in 1940 and Alberto Amor (think of Biagi) as his singer? In the best years of tango as dance music, the early 40s, there were so many active orchestras that haven’t left us a single recording, which means we miss out on a lot of interesting combinations of tango bands and singers, or simply an ”earlier” sound of orchestras that aren’t famous for dance music nowadays. Florindo Sassone only started recording in the late 1940s: had he begun doing that earlier on, he could have been more popular nowadays.
