Have you got a special tango, too?

My first Tango CD I ever bought was a german live production: Silvana DeLuigi "Tanguera" (2004). And within this CD I fell in love especially with one piece: "El ultimo Cafe". From that time on, this special piece accompanies my tango life. Though I found other interpretations I am still committed to my first heard version.

Unfortunately there is no YT version by Silvana DeLuigi, I only found this little clip to play (#9)

Here some other versions:

a jazzy piano instrumental by the composer Héctor Stamponi himself

and a rather dramatic version sung by Hugo del Carril. His phrasing is almost unmatched. (by the way, I give prefernce to Carril, not to Gardel)

a moody bandoneón solo by Guille

and one by Raul Cobian in the "tango-is-dead-sound" of the late 70s

I find Stamponi is one of the most important tango composers. One that jumped over the gap of tradition to modern music. Besides "Ultimo Cafe" his most know pieces are "Flor de Lino" and "Junto A Tu Corazón".
