orchestral style and clearly defined limited ambition in his music, his elementary harmonic conception and the constitutive
limitation of ideas, typical of the pattern exclusively designed to serve the dance. The attraction of the voices who

Biography 2 by Ricardo Garcia Blaya of Todotango
In the second half of the thirties music took precedence over international tango, to the point that our more traditional
tango orchestras included in his repertoire foxtrots, polkas, corridos, pasodobles, congas and rumbas. Since Canaro Typical
Lomuto and Victor, until De Caro and Fresedo mixture tangos with the most extravagant music. But the emergence of bold and
dizzying pace of John D'Arienzo, positioned again to tango in the preference of young people, who not only regained his
taste for dance, but also took to recreate it.
Then, hundreds of orchestras and vocalists, leading the rebirth of "two by four" and so, the wonderful forties.
Alfredo De Angelis is part of the group of orchestras that put the emphasis on dancing. This however does not mean that
lacked artistic value, by contrast, were afiatadas well-orchestrated and had great musicians and vocalists.
Our intellectual elite peyorizó always popular, Prendes quickly that the taste of people, because no recovery, nor valued,
the sociocultural phenomenon that means dance.
Always heard that De Angelis was an orchestra "Carousel," which only served in the lounge, which lacked creativity. I
suppose the adjective referring to the curious form of the dancers to tour the ground orderly turning around the perimeter
of the track. From another perspective, critics could point to the music easy, elementary and routine of calesita
(carousels). These definitions dasafortunadas the meeting.
De Angelis was the beauty of a harmonious and synchronized work of a tango that was neat and simple, achieved with an
efficient handling of pace and very respectful of the melody and the showcasing of the singer.
It will say that the style was simple and unambitious formula was repeated, but today, at the distance, I am delighted
listening to his recordings some of them anthological. "At the foot of the Holy Cross," "breeze", "We are already equal"
(with the voice of Carlos Dante), "puppet" (by Floreal Ruiz), "Atenti pebeta", "One tango and nothing else "," Equal
footing "(with Julio Martel).
Born in the town of Adrogué (south of Buenos Aires great) and very boy began to learn music theory and harmony. His first
performances were accompanying the singer John Giliberti, announcing their presentations with posters claiming that he had
Gardel himself recognized as his successor.
Soon thereafter becomes the orchestra Anselmo Aieta replacing the pianist John Polito. As curious information, participated
in that training as a violinist John D'Arienzo.
Together with the bandoneonist Ernesto de la Cruz, accompanied the singer Felix Gutierrez, successful refrain from several
orchestras of the time. Fleeting, back in 1934, passing through the orchestra Graciano de Leone. After a gun team with
Daniel Alvarez and later integrates Mendocinos The orchestra led by Francisco Lauro.
Orchestra Alfredo De Angelis is just after 1940 forming his own orchestra, debuting on March 20, 1941 in coffee Marzotto on
Corrientes Street, with vocalist Hector Morea, who is the only one of their singers who do not reach the record .
It acts on radio El Mundo, with the voices of that Morea and its new addition, Floreal Ruiz. Thus we come to "Glostora
Tango Club", legendary radio program that is broadcast daily and that it was un ratito before the most popular radio:
"Perez Garcia."
Thus, De Angelis gained fame and popularity and it was not strange that the Odeon incorporate into their artistic cast,
where he recorded 486 items, from July 23, 1943 to January 21, 1977.
De Angelis was characterized by having chosen very good singers, suffice as an example: Floreal Ruiz, Carlos Dante, Julio
Martel, Oscar Larroca, Juan Carlos Godoy, Robert Florio, Roberto Mancini, Lalo Martel, among others.
The case of Carlos Dante is very special because it had been a devoted and refrain comes to the orchestra in its fullness,
becoming its best singer, his hallmark.
Alfredo De Angelis was in the forties the propellant of vocal duets. Walking his discography highlights the first-team
Dante Martel with his "pearls" "Pregonera", "Whirlpool" and "Pastora," among others. Then the duo Dante-Larroca, after Juan
Carlos Godoy with Lalo Martel and Roberto Mancini.
He is the author of "The drill", in homage to the football club Banfield, "Pregonera", "Pastora" (both with lyrics by
Joseph Banner), "What is the slow train" (lyrics by Caramel Volpe) and marvel that that is melodic "Whirlpool" (also with
Banner).
De Angelis did not have the imprint of Troilus nor Pugliese, but he was an honest leader who took refuge in a traditional
tango that came easily to popular recognition. The proof is in the amount of records and that they had recorded an
impressive commercial success.......
