Mario Canaro
Some tangos achieve fame by their influence on the genre, and some win their stature by their power to move us on the dance floor. Among the latter, we can securely count this gripping 1944 number “Tú, el cielo y tú,” by longtime Di Sarli collaborator Héctor Marcó.
“Quiero verte una vez más,” the 1939 hit tango with lyrics by José María Contursi and music by Mario Canaro, the youngest of the Canaro brothers. This dance-floor favorite foregrounds the intense longing of lost love, and features a double-length chorus—something very common in jazz standards but not often encountered in tango.
