D'Arienzo's neglected singer
You probably have heard of Héctor Mauré, Alberto Echagüe and Armando Laborde - all wonderful singers at various periods of Juan D'Arienzo's orchestra. I love them all, as each one brings a different colour to recordings. (Oh, to have experienced them singing live!!)
But, have you heard the expressive voice of Juan Carlos Lamas? He didn't sing for long with D'Arienzo, before forging a career in the movies, according to the biography in Todotango. (His good looks may have helped a little.)
Listen to this very danceable tanda with a few of my Lamas favourites. Though, I would have included the superb Viejo tintero.
I do wish more DJs would play his songs!
