Los Señores del Tango
Los Señores del Tango was an orchestra formed in Buenos Aires in 1956 by leading musicians who had recently left the orchestra of Carlos Di Sarli, one of the most influential figures of the Golden Age of Argentine tango. The new ensemble preserved much of Di Sarli’s elegant and highly danceable musical style and was regarded by many listeners as a direct continuation of the famous Di Sarli sound.
The split took place shortly before the 1956 carnival season, when most of Di Sarli’s orchestra departed together, reportedly also taking singers Mario Pomar and Oscar Serpa with them. The name “Los Señores del Tango” itself echoed Di Sarli’s famous nickname “El Señor del Tango,” underlining the close musical connection between the orchestras.
Los Señores del Tango debuted on February 3, 1956 on Radio Belgrano and soon appeared regularly at important Buenos Aires venues such as Confitería Richmond and the Dominó dancing salon. The orchestra also recorded for the Music Hall and RCA Victor labels. Their repertoire included several works associated with Di Sarli’s orchestra, although interpreted with slight stylistic differences and their own orchestral nuances.
Although the orchestra existed only for a relatively short period, Los Señores del Tango remains historically important as one of the clearest examples of the enduring influence of Carlos Di Sarli’s musical language. Their recordings preserve the refined phrasing, smooth rhythmic flow, and melodic elegance that made the Di Sarli style one of the pillars of social tango dancing.
