Episode 12 is Part 1/4 covering the year 1938. We start the episode with Aníbal Troilo showing how it is done with his first recorded tango "Comme il faut". We continue with the only two tangos of Juan D'Arienzo for which the pianist is still Rodolfo Biagi an the singer is already Alberto Echagüe: Indiferencia and Pensalo bien. Other pieces from D'Arienzo, Edgardo Donato, Francisco Canaro, Rodolfo Biagi, Orquesta Típica Victor (OTV), Enrique Rodriguez, and Pedro Laurenz complete the episode.

Episode 11 is Part 3/3 covering the year 1937. Besides being another shameless Juan D'Arienzo and Canaro-Maida-fest, the episode contains further pieces from Roberto Firpo (with his "El compinche" starting the episode itself) and Orquesta Típica Victor, as well a few select tangos from orchestras we have not yet heard from: that of Pedro Laurenz, Enrique Rodriguez, and Ricardo Tanturi.

Episode 10 is Part 2/3 covering the year 1937. After starting with "Paciencia", the first non-instrumental tango of the second orchestra of Juan D'Arienzo and the only one with the singer Enrique Carbel, we focus on instrumentals of Juan D'Arienzo, on Edgardo Donato with Horacio Lagos, and on Francisco Lomuto with Jorge Omar, as well as on further tangos and valses from Roberto Firpo and Orquesta Típica Victor.

Episode 09 is Part 1/3 covering the year 1937. We start with "Invierno", one of the most popular Canaro-Maida songs from the second half of the year (I find the shocking similarity of the melodic theme of "Invierno" to the then-popular 1936 Hungarian tango that serves as the main signal of this episode series quite ironic, especially in the light that Francisco Canaro was the main advocate of musical copyright protection in Argentina at the time and played a pivotal role in founding SADAIC in 1936). Besides Canaro we display instrumental valses and milongas from Juan D'Arienzo and Edgardo Donato, and a handful of more lyrical pieces from Osvaldo Fresedo with Roberto Ray. We close the episode with a rare gem from Enrique Santos Discépolo, featuring the singer Tania.

Episode 08 is Part 3/3 covering the year 1936. "La mélodie de notre adieu," a French sung tango from Rafael Canaro with singer Roger Tussaint is our first piece. Our focus today is on tangos and valses, in particular from Francisco Canaro, Juan D'Arienzo, and Francisco Lomuto. We finish this last episode on 1936 with an example of a European style tango from the continent, a Russian rendering of a beautiful Polish tango, "Weary sun".

Episode 07 is Part 2/3 covering the year 1936. We start with Roberto Maida singing what could easily be another "Poema" or "Invierno" if it were better known, "Será una noche". The rest of the episode focuses on works by Francisco Canaro, Juan D'Arienzo, and Roberto Firpo; we finish with a tango from the second best known of the four Canaro brothers, Rafael Canaro.

Episode 05 covers the year 1935. We start with "Poema" and other mellow pieces from Francisco Canaro (with the singer Roberto Maida) and Osvaldo Fresedo (with singer Roberto Rey). After a somewhat unusual vals of Francisco Canaro, "Amor y primavera", we turn to Edgardo Donato and Juan D'Arienzo; we hope to catch the effect rhythmical pieces of Donato may have had on the coming revolution of D'Arienzo. We close with a tango from the also under-appreciated Roberto Firpo and with a milonga by Juan D'Arienzo.

We finish the episode with "El acomodo", an 1933 energetic instrumental tango from the orchestra of Edgardo Donato that somewhat foreshadows Juan D'Arienzo's rhythmical revolution of 1935.
