José Grande and his Orchestra - Rudolph Valentino Tangos
$ 15.00
Welcome to the golden age of mid-century exoticism. Released on Parade Records, this budget-label gem by José Grande and his Orchestra is designed for exactly one thing: dramatic, swooping ballroom dancing in your living room. Capitalizing on the enduring romantic mythos of silent film star Rudolph Valentino, this collection of tangos is all sweeping strings, staccato rhythms, and castanets. The painted cover art is an absolute triumph of vintage kitsch. Pour a martini, roll up the rug, and let this record transport you to a highly romanticized, cinematic vision of 1920s Argentina.
