Carlos Di Sarli

Carlos Di Sarli (1903–1960) was a pianist, composer, and orchestra leader whose elegant, smooth style earned him the nickname “El Señor del Tango.” His orchestras are known for refined arrangements, lyrical melodies, and a steady rhythmic pulse that made them perfect for dancing, especially for dancers who favor flowing, graceful tandas. Classics like Bahía Blanca, Rosas De Otono (vals),  Zorzal (milonga) showcase his signature use of strings and piano to create a warm, sophisticated sound that balances musicality with danceability.

Di Sarli’s discography is extensive, with over 400 recorded tracks spanning from the late 1920s to the 1950s. 

DJ opinion: Carlos Di Sarli is all about elegance. His deep piano passages guide us to walk steadily and gracefully across the dance floor, while the gentle swings in his tangos align perfectly with the body’s natural movement. Play Di Sarli anywhere, anytime, and you’ll never disappoint the dancers.
