Hive Music Festival | Week, 118, round 1 | "El Día Que Me Quieras" by Carlos Gardel

▶️ Watch on 3Speak

Starting off this new cycle of performances, I recalled I never recorded the over famous tango sung by Carlos Gardel. I'm talking about the lovely piece known as El Día Que Me Quieras. The first time I listened to this amazing song was on the voice of Simón Díaz in his record Tangos y Boleros. I gotta say that Gardel's voice wasn't helped by the technology of his times. A recording with modern technology might have made his amazing register shine out.

The version I'm familiar with is amazing. Unfortunately, it isn't around in the internet. Maybe it is on some of the streaming services. I don't know.

This song was another of the missing recordings for last year. I learned it during my 6-weeks vacation from the Hive Music Festival. It was an interesting decision from my teacher when he went over this song in a class. It made me remember it was in the list of solos I wanted to learn. And so we did. It is easier than the other tangos I have already recorded. And the difference shows. However, it is actually even more beautiful. The others are melancholic and that their charm. This tango has the added benefit of being about something lovely. It isn't a surprise since you can translate its tile to on the day you fall in love with me. It is a list of the things that would happen on such a day. All of them are quite interesting.

I have been playing it for quite some time for myself and once for my girlfriend, @octocel. Speaking of which, this cover is dedicated to her. Because this is the kind of song you would dedicate to someone you really like. Besides, I also hope she likes this recording a lot.

And you my listener, have a great day and enjoy the music. You can show this version to someone you like as well. Maybe, you'll get some brownie points. It is worth a try.
