This weeks tanda is a spirited vals (waltz) set by Juan D'Arienzo. These are great examples of vals criollo (creole waltz). Vals criollo is an evolution of the European vals as influenced by the culture of the working class Argentinean and Uruguayan citizens, primarily a mixture of Spanish and African. Later this would evolve into what we now refer to simply as Tango Vals.

Pabellón de las Rosas (The Rose Pavilion)
The second song of this set, "Pabellón de las Rosas (The Rose Pavilion)", was composed by Joseph Felipetti. It was located at 2855 Alvear Avenue (now Del Libertador). It contained a restaurant, dance hall, and skating rink. The entrance consisted of a roundabout, surrounded by beautiful gardens. Some of the most popular orchestras played there including Canaro, Berto, Firpo, Fresedo, and Maglio. In 1919, Fresedo played there with a huge orchestra of 30 members including two pianos played by Cobian and Delfino. In the late 1920s, it was the host of a huge Tango contest. It was demolished around 1929.
This weeks alternative tanda is an downtempo electronic tanda. The songs range from bluesy to trip-hop to electronic rock, but they all have a similar quality that pulls them together. Notice that Bloodstream has been edited to end at 3.53, it is much longer and the rest of the song rambles on and would be difficult to dance to. Also, be warned that "Talk Show Host" does have adult language.
