• Gran Hotel Victoria, and also known as ‘Hotel Victoria’; recorded by Quinteto Real in 1963; a tango composed in 1906. The name is a reference to the large hotel of that name at Calle San Martín 133 in the provincial city of Córdoba, on the occasion of extensive renovations in 1906; the hotel is still operating in Córdoba although it moved to a new site at 25 de Mayo 240 in 1914 and the original building has been demolished; no subsequent renovations have been immortalised in tango. Tangos were often written for commercial reasons such as advertising, but this is one of the very few of such tangos to survive. There is doubt about the authorship of both music and lyrics but, like ‘Yunta Brava’ (with which it shares melodic components) it incorporates Spanish folk melodies.

Last edition took a brief look at the significance of the singing of Roberto Díaz in drawing together the separate traditions of instrumental tango and sung tango, and this edition explores his musical legacy in more detail. That’s this Sunday on Tango Capital, 7:00pm to 8:00pm:
