Episode 24 of Tangos Despreciados, a tango programme by Richard Frisart and Chris Zaal.
This episode is all about Donato Racciatti’s Uruguayan orchestra, which had a lot of commercial success with happy, straightforward, uptempo music.
The style of Donato’s orchestra was much like Juan D’Arienzo’s, but less refined. Or in other words, quite naggy. His sound was saved by good singers such as Nina Miranda, Olga Delgrossi and Carlos Roldán.
