"CASA DEL TANGO"

Tango do Ceará goleia o da Argentina!

To Andrew G., the only living relative of Wiera Gran, with thanks for his kindness and remembrance and with best wishes from Poland, the country Ms. Gran indentified with and regarded as hers. This recording is presented straight from the 78rpm record that I once received from the artist; the title is denoted as "ORCHIDEA" and the name of the singer - Wiera GREEN (!). So, we can hear the real voice here of the very young artist, still a little 'stiff', perhaps from "the microphone fright"; the girl (!) was not fully aged 19 at that moment. I have tried to describe the dramatic events of her life - most known to me from the first hand - a few times, which may be found as commentaries to my earlier Wiera's YT videos, on the CDs "Legendarna Wiera Gran" and "Stare Polskie Tango 1929-1939"; and in Wikipedia. This is to my great satisfaction that those two Polish artists - Wiera Gran and Pola Negri, a little neglected by contemporaries, yet deserving great attention - are coming back to us; with only regret that it happens when they are not any more among us.... - Thanks to Daniel for the musical support and presentation of the original recording of "Orchids in the Moonlight". Record, sound and all visual documentary - JP's, author's of the video archives.
