With only two recordings with Orquesta Típica Victor, both made on the same day, it may seem that 26 July 1932 was Oscar Ugarte’s “Big Day“. However, Oscar Ugarte was not so much specifically a tango singer as a ’cantor nacional’ or ’national singer’; that is a singer whose repertoire represented the various traditional national and provincial styles of Argentina: canciones, cifras, zambitas, estilos, tonadas, traditional milonga pampeanas etc. His forte was radio and that was where his career developed with a twenty year residency at Radio El Mundo.
Con solo dos grabaciones con Orquesta Típica Victor, ambas realizadas el mismo día, puede parecer que el 26 de julio de 1932 fue el “Gran Día“ de Oscar Ugarte. Sin embargo, Oscar Ugarte no era tan específicamente un cantante de tango como un “cantante nacional“; que es un cantante cuyo repertorio representaba los diversos estilos tradicionales nacionales y provinciales de Argentina: canciones, cifras, zambitas, estilos, tonadas, milonga pampeanas tradicionales, etc. Su fuerte era la radio y allí desarrolló su carrera con una residencia de veinte años en Radio El Mundo
SIN AMPARO
Adiós, luz de mi corazón
Jamás volverás a reír,
Yo sé, que en tu alma no hay amor
Y harto de sufrir
Me voy, mujer, me voy.
Sentí, la dicha de querer
Mujer, con ansias y fervor,
La paz, de un dulce amanecer,
Mas vi con gran dolor
Tu vil traición, mujer.
Con agradecimiento a
WITHOUT PROTECTION
Farewell, light of my heart
You’ll never laugh
I know that in your soul there’s no love
And I’m tired of suffering
I’m going, woman, I’m off!
I felt the joy of love,
Woman, with eagerness and passion,
The peace of a sweet dawn,
But I also saw with huge sadness,
Woman, your shabby betrayal.
