Alfredo Gobbi

Alfredo Gobbi (1912–1965) was a violin player, composer, and orchestra leader known for his passionate, dramatic style that blended traditional tango with lyrical, almost symphonic elements. His orchestras often highlighted expressive phrasing, dynamic contrasts, and intricate interplay between bandoneóns and strings. Notable tracks like Juves, Orlando Goñi, and Historia De Un Amor  showcase Gobbi’s flair for emotional depth while keeping the music danceable. Some of Gobbi's valses are incredible to dance to, look at Adoración but unfortunately there is not much recorded milongas. 

Gobbi’s discography includes a litte under 100 recordings, making him a key figure in the 1940s and early 1950s tango scene. For dancers and DJs, Gobbi offers expressive, slightly less predictable tandas that stand out for their intensity and artistry.

DJ opinion: Alfredo Gobbi is not often heard at milongas, but his music stands on par with Troilo and Pugliese. By carefully exploring his repertoire, you can uncover remarkable gems that will surprise and delight your audience.
