DISCOGRAPHY - 1927-1941 - DISCOGRAFIA |
1. Overview
2. 1927-1928,
with Osvaldo Fresedo (Odeon)
3. 1929-1931,
the RCA-Víctor years... and a bit of Odeon !
(Orq. Típica Víctor, Carlos
Di Sarli, Juan Canaro, some Francisco Canaro and others....)
4. 1931, a
brief Columbia intermezzo
5. 1932-1935, with
Francisco
Canaro (Odeon)
6. 1934-1939, to the
movies... - Famá solista
7. 1939-1941, with
Francisco
Canaro (Odeon)
8. The cantor de
orquesta never dies, some just fade away...
5. 1932-1935, with Francisco Canaro (Odeon)
This is the first of 2 periods of
collaboration
between Francisco Canaro and Ernesto Famá. During this time, he
also performed in the stage plays that were produced by Francisco
Canaro
(in colaboration with text writer Ivo Pelay).
In spite of the ongoing musical evolution
and differences due to the director's individuality, these recordings
belong
to the same tradition as the ones we have seen earlier. Essentially
they
are orchestral pieces with a small intervention of the vocalist singing
the estribillo or refrain. But occasionally, these
interventions
tend to become longer, allowing the vocalist to shine (a good example
is
"La Muchachada del Centro") .
However, this is less of a historical
necessity than it may seem. Charlo, who preceeded Famá as
Canaro's
vocalist (1928-1931) was much more prolific as a cantor. Of his
many hundreds of recordings, a large part was recorded in 2 versions:
one
as an estribillista (just singing a part of the lyrics, with a
more
predominant role for the orchestra), another as cantor (with
full
lyrics).
Interestingly, 6 recordings with
Famá
were edited with record numbers in the range 16000. By analogy to
Charlo's
record numbers, these numbers suggests cantor versions
(instrumental
and estribillista versions had record numbers typically in the
4000-8000
range).
16280: El Tango De La Mula - El Tigre
Millán
(1934)
16281: Cambalache - Alma Del
Bandoneón
(1935)
16282: No Hay Que Hacerse Mala Sangre
- No Puede Ser (1935)
These recordings are difficult to
obtain
(I do not know of any modern CD edition) but at least in the case of
Cambalache
(which was re-edited on LP) and Alma Del Bandoneón it could be
confirmed
that Famá performs as a cantor. So it is safe to assume
that
the same holds for the other four. In spite of being accompanied by
Francisco
Canaro in the 1935 recordings, it is very likely that Ernesto
Famá
had already formally left the orchestra as an estribillista. (continue)
| Note:
The contribution of Francisco Canaro on the records 16281 and 16282 has
been questioned (Christoph Lanner has removed them from his Canaro discography). The main reason for this doubt is the fact that on these records the orchestra is not identified ("con acomp. de orquesta"). Nevertheless, in Odeon catalogs and LP reeditions these versions were published as accompanied by Canaro. In a certain sense, one could as well claim that the 16280 record label is unusual, not the other ones: even in the 30's it was still usual that for soloist recordings the accompanying orchestra remained unidentified. |

tuvieron difusión comercial dos tomas: la 7039 (seca) del
pasodoble Dama española (cantando Ernesto Famá, grabada
el 17 de febrero de 1932) y la 7039-3 cantando Agustín Irusta,
del 21 de marzo del mismo año. [On the record with nr.
4781, side A, two different takes were edited: master nr. 7039 (1st
take) with Ernesto Famá, recorded February, 17, 1932, and master
nr. 7039-3 with Agustín Irusta, recorded February, 21 of that
same year.] So we have one title, two record editions with a single ID, 2 recordings with the same base master number and 2 different vocalists. Are you still with us ? |

6. 1934-1939, to the movies... - Famá solista
Ernesto Famá became more and
more involved with work in the movies : as an actor-singer but also as
a componist. Among them: "Idolos de la Radio" (1934), "El Alma del
Bandoneón"
(1935) and "Loco Lindo" (1936).
Famá also starts performing as
soloist, cantor solista (it would have been equally justified
to
include his 4 last recordings with Canaro in this section). In 1936 he
was accompanied (during tours and radio work) by the orchestra of
Alberto
Gambino with whom he recorded also four 78 rpm records.

7. 1939-1941, with Francisco Canaro (Odeon)
In 1938, Roberto Maida, who had
replaced
Ernesto Famá, left the Canaro orchestra because he was upset by
the idea of Canaro to include a second vocalist in the orchestra
(Francisco
Amor). Ernesto Famá returns and so starts his second period of
colaboration
with Canaro. Around that time the estribillista had evolved
into
the cantor de orchestra, with a more prominent role but still
subordinate
to the orchestra. In Canaro's orchestra however, the estribillista
tradition of performing only part of the lyrics still prevailed. But it
is obvious that the brillance of the vocal part became more and more
disctinct
from the style from the thirties. Just listen to the second part
of La Milonga de Buenos Aires.... (continue)
8. The cantor de orquesta never dies, some just fade away...
A remarkable similarity...
In1943, Jorge Omar and Fernandez
Díaz
leave the orchestra of Francisco Lomuto and continue as a duo with
their
own orchestra, never to be heard of again - recordingwise...
Likewise, but 2 years earlier, Ernesto
Famá and Francisco Amor leave the Canaro orchestra to perform as
a duo with their own orchestra directed by Federico Scorticatti.
Ernesto
Famá will retire from the stage at the age of 35 years,
indicating
that the Famá-Amor duo didn't last longer than 1 or 2 years.
Francisco
Amor will just make a few other isolated recordings with Canaro at the
end of the fifties, early sixties.
