Italian tango: Fernando Orlandis - Violino Tzigano, 1934

Fernando Orlandis con Pippo Barzizza Blue Star Orchestra - Violino Tzigano, Tango (Bixio-Cherubini) Fonit 1934 (Italy) NOTE: I was not successful in collecting any substantial info about Italian singer Fernando Orlandis, who - judgung by his excellent interpretations - was a very talented artist. However, many recordings he left behind are the Italian fascist songs, e.g. those praising the Italian-Ethiopian war of 1936. Therefore he must have been involved in the fascist movement, what, probably, relegated him to the margins of Italian cultural life after the collapse of Mussolini®ime. Never the less, listening to his renditions of Italian popular hits from the 1930s., provide the real pleasure.
