HAPPY WOMEN'S DAY 💖
Today to celebrate it, we would like to share with you a little bit about AZUCENA MAIZANI "La ñata gaucha" 😎🎶
PERO YO SE, This tango is a very popular among the milonguer@s, we usually listened to it in a "Tanda" of the orchestra of Angel D'Agostino (my favorite version), Anibal Troilo or Osvaldo Fresedo.
Azucena composed the music and wrote the lyrics.
To understand the phenomenon of Azucena Maizani in the development of the singers in tango, we would have to go back to the beginning of the 20th century. At that time, the theater scene was filled with "cupletistas", who interpreted typically Spanish songs, and that cuplé they sang often seemed like tangos, without being so. In short, they were building the seed of future tangos with plotting lyrics.
They sang it with a hint of Creole Spanish and several of those lyrics could have been considered as precursors of tango song. Titles such as "El tango de la casera", "El pechador", "Andate a la recoleta" "La flauta de Bartolo", were potentially tangos (musically and literally). Teresita Zazá, Pastora Imperio, Linda Thelma, Lola Membrives, Flora Hortensia Rodríguez de Gobbi and Pepita Avellaneda, were her most famous performers.
When Gardel made a success of "Mi noche triste", by Castriota and Contursi, tango began to displace the "cuplé" of the Buenos Aires theaters. It is for this reason that most of the tangos were premiered by actresses.
It was the 1920s and tango had become consolidated in the theater, which gave way to the appearance of the genre's songwriters. Azucena, occupied a place of relevance in the advent of tango sung by women and was without a doubt "The Tango Songwriter". She opened a great gap between the tango interpreted as such, and the one that was sung until it's irruption on the stages by the actresses who were put in charge of singing.
Azucena met Carlos Gardel in 1923 during an evening at the National Theater, when in different proportions the two were just climbing the rungs of fame. Maizani's friendship with Gardel was long lasting and transcended the artistic world .
Gardel wrote a few letters to very few people. Azucena Maizani was one of the!
In 1933 another chronicler pointed out that at the end of a radio program Gardel told Azucena: "You are a little fat and I am a little old, but in Buenos Aires there is still no one who can beat us to sing tangos".
Knowing about that friendship and the letters they had exchanged I would bet that Azucena wrote the lyrics of PERO YO SE, thinking in her friend Carlitos.
ENJOY!
