Here I the conversation:
What is a tanda in argentine tango?
In Argentine tango, a “tanda” refers to a set of dance songs played consecutively during a social dance event known as a “milonga.” Tandas usually consist of three or four songs with a similar style or from the same orchestra. Tandas are typically organized by the DJ or organizer of the milonga to create a cohesive musical atmosphere and to help dancers better connect with their partners and the music.
Between tandas, there is usually a short break called a “cortina” (curtain). This is a non-tango piece of music that lasts for about 30 seconds to a minute, signaling dancers to leave the dance floor, take a break, and find new partners for the next tanda. This structure helps to maintain the flow and energy of the milonga and ensures that dancers have the opportunity to dance with different partners throughout the evening.
Make a set of tandas in the following structure: tango, tango, vals, tango, tango, milonga. Make sure that each tanda is consistent with only one orchestra.
Here’s a set of tandas organized in the structure you requested, featuring well-known Argentine tango orchestras:
- Tanda 1 – Tango (Orchestra: Carlos Di Sarli) a. Bahía Blanca b. El Choclo c. Milonguero Viejo d. Nido Gaucho
- Tanda 2 – Tango (Orchestra: Juan D’Arienzo) a. La Cumparsita b. El Flete c. Loca d. Qué noche!
Tanda 5: rework it, and don’t go for popularity.
In a tanda, the first song is to make dancers dance. the third song can be something that is less known, and the last song should round off the tanda.
I understand your request now. Here is a reworked Tanda 5 featuring Osvaldo Pugliese’s orchestra with lesser-known tracks:
- Tanda 5 – Tango (Orchestra: Osvaldo Pugliese)a. El abrojito https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H-1tfbr0gF8b. Si sos brujo https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4zKj4iZw6z4c. Mala pinta https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OawfQL0IHBYd. La bordona https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_r7YB_vvF9Y
In this revised Tanda 5, the first song “El abrojito” invites dancers to the floor, while the lesser-known “Mala pinta” serves as the third song. The tanda concludes with “La bordona,” which has a more rounded-off feel to finish the set.
Please note that YouTube links may change or become unavailable over time. If you encounter any issues, you can search for the song titles along with the orchestra’s name to find alternative recordings. Enjoy the music!
please rework all the tandas you generated. also make sure that when choosing songs, a tanda is either only instrumental, or has the same singer, but not mixed.
I understand your request. Here’s a revised set of tandas, ensuring that each tanda is either only instrumental or has the same singer:
- Tanda 1 – Tango (Orchestra: Carlos Di Sarli, Instrumental) a. Bahía Blanca b. A la gran muñeca c. El amanecer d. El ingeniero
- Tanda 2 – Tango (Orchestra: Juan D’Arienzo, Singer: Alberto Echagüe) a. Pensalo bien b. El vino triste c. Trago amargo d. Dime mi amor
please also add the year the song was recorded. rewrite all tandas.
Here’s the revised set of tandas with the year each song was recorded:
- Tanda 1 – Tango (Orchestra: Carlos Di Sarli, Instrumental) a. Bahía Blanca (1957) b. A la gran muñeca (1944) c. El amanecer (1945) d. El ingeniero
try to generate tandas that are from the same year, or from within 3 years.
I understand your request. Here’s a revised set of tandas with songs from the same year or within a three-year range:
- Tanda 1 – Tango (Orchestra: Carlos Di Sarli, Instrumental) a. A la gran muñeca (1944) b. El amanecer (1945) c. El ingeniero (1945) d. El jagüel (1944)

Here’s a new Tanda 3 for you, featuring a different orchestra and singer, and maintaining the same year or within a three-year range:
Tanda 3 – Vals (Orchestra: Alfredo De Angelis, Singer: Carlos Dante) a. Pobre flor (1945) b. La novia del mar (1944) c. Amor y vals (1944)
