This playlist focuses on the orchestra of Miguel Calo.

At milongas you will hear this orchestra mostly with vocalists, and Calo features some of the best vocalists in the golden age. This is a great orchestra for vocalists, with beautiful melodies, and great orchestral arrangements.

The first vocalist you will hear is Raul Beron.  Beron developed a unique and distinctive style that he would develop further with other orchestras, notable the orchestra of Lucio Demare featured in another post here.

The second vocalist is Raul Iriarte.  He is the equal of Beron, the two voices are quite distinctive.

The third vocalist featured in this playlist is one of the greatest of them all, Alberto Podesta.  Podesta sang with a number of classic orchestras in teh golden age, including Di Sarli, Calo, and Laurenz.

I included one lovely instrumental piece.  You don’t often hear Calo’s instrumentals at milongas but there are some very nice ones.  San Souci is one of them.
