Great for Argentine Tango Dancers

"Francisco Canaro's musical career spanned from around 1910 to the 1950s. So the cuts on this album have a beautiful, nostalgic, big-band sound to them. If you are purchasing this album simply for listening, you might feel that the songs "all sound the same", since they are all by the same artist. In that case, I would recommend an album by various artists such as The Best Tango Album in the World, Ever! (Capitol Records). However, if you are an Argentine Tango dancer, you will find that this album provides lots of variety for dancing. There are 9 tangos, 4 milongas, and 5 very lovely valses. The danceable tempos make this album one of my favorites. Another good album for dancers is Bailemos Tango!: A Century of Tango on the Dance Floor (Rhino) by various artists. It also contains many tangos and milongas, but only one vals.
