Though you wouldn't think so from most of the available recordings, not all tango singers were male. Of the women, only
Libertad Lamarque gained a lasting international rep (and even she hardly broke out of the Spanish-speaking world). But as these enchanting tracks attest, Ada Falcón, Rosita Quiroga,
Azucena Maizani, Mercedes Simon and a bunch of other also had the true tango flair. ~ John Storm Roberts, Original Music
