Random Page  /  Random Song


This famous tango--translated as “little parade”--was originally composed as a carnival march in 1916 by 18 year-old Uruguayan musician Gerardo Matos Rodriguez. It was further refined and adapted to a tango rhythm by orchestra leader Roberto Firpo, who made the first recording of “La Cumparsita.” Lyrics were added some years later.

CD audio, original 78rpm issued on Victor 24461 - La Cumparsita (Rodriguez) by Eddy Duchin & his Orchestra, recorded in NYC October 25, 1933
