Enrique Lomuto shared the stage with Rene Varela<br />
and Anibal Troilo played with Oscar Aleman<br />
(scan by M. Krugman)<br />
Coincidentally or maybe not, it is this same year that<br />
the job of a victrolera was established. The account<br />
of events of 1929 is sufficient to believe that at least<br />
some of the victroleras were indeed playing in smaller<br />
milongas for the dancers, pretty much like the modern<br />
DJs. Yet, I cheerfully admit that I lack any tango letras<br />
to prove this claim. But whenever it happened, be it<br />
in the 30s or in the mid-40s, as the last image proves,<br />
the early DJs had no choice but to follow established<br />
1929 pattern of the live orquestas to play the music in<br />
tandas with either silent or musical cortinas.<br />
