I have a small addition to this thread. At the "Chicago Tango Week" of July this year, Horacio Godoy gave a workshop on DJing. During questions, a participant asked Horacio how much he uses songs with singers versus instrumental. Below I am transcribing from a video recording. Horacio Godoy: I use more with singers. Because in Argentina they prefer the lyrics. They want to dance lyrics (gesturing towards his ear) with the music. Questioner A: 60%? 70%? Godoy: Yeah, yeah. Maybe more. Questioner B: Would you do the same in the U.S.? Godoy: I do the same here. Maybe in Rome (?), because sometimes in Europe or the United States they prefer just the orchestra, not the singer. Questioner C: In the same tanda, would you stay all instrumental, or all with the cantor, or do you mix? Godoy: It depends on the orchestra. For example, Calo, instrumental is very different than Calo with Beron. Very different. [Di Sarli], it's different but not a lot, and D'Arienzo, it can be the same feeling. OK? It depends on the orchestra what happens with the instrumental or the singers. When I play the mix, I try to play two and three, or two and two.
