Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse.(with new tangos.) Rudolph Valentino
Rudolph Valentino became famous in 1921
with the release of this film. It included the famous Tango Dance scene. It shows what a talented dancer he was.
I like this movie a lot, but I always
wondered what it would sound like with
more up to date tangos. By adding to the soundtrack 3 famous tangos , a new
look is created. It is only an experiment. Three tangos were selected.
A MEDIA LUZ, LA CUMPARSITA, and POR UNA
CABEZA. Hope you like the music. I read that LA CUMPARSITA was a favorite
tango of Valentino.
The 3 instrumental tangos used here are
associated with the great tango singer
Carlos Gardel. According to research done
over the years, it seems that Rudolph Valentino and Carlos Gardel never met. Yet
both of them are very important in making
the Tango popular all over the world. To
have Rudolph Valentino dancing to a Gardel
tango is sort of a tribute to both of them.
The film is based on the novel “Los Cuatros Jinetes del Apocalipsis“ by Spanish
author Vicente Blasco Ibañez.
