It’s time for one of those mystery orchestras: Enrique Lomuto, brother of Francisco Lomuto, recorded only three songs but other than this meagre amount suggests, he seems to have been quite active for several years. There is only one tango he recorded (in 1938), No me preguntes nada, and the orchestra’s style sounds like a blend of Canaro and Lomuto and perhaps something else too…. We now miss out on what was presumably a lot of interesting material because brother Enrique never got the right contracts, like quite some other musicians from the best years of tango music. However, at least you now have a picture of this physically similar Lomuto brother (right) together with Roberto Torres, who also stars in the one recorded tango mentioned above.

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
