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.

Tango Archive
The idea of this website is to give access to (still undiscovered) photos of tango orchestras and singers found in old archive material.
Photographic material of tango music celebrities on the internet is still very scarce and we are working hard to change that.
We collaborate with Tango Time Machine at Tangodecoder.com to make more original material accessible.
Thank you for everything, Michael
