Troilo and Grela

This summary is based on an article by Diego Fischerman – eldiarioar.com, dated May 4, 2024. Diego Fischerman is the author of the blog "El sonido de los sueños."

The era with the TK label was fundamental for Aníbal Troilo, marked by the formation of innovative small groups and significant collaborations. During this period, Troilo formed a quartet with Roberto Grela on guitar, Edmundo Zaldívar (son) on guitarrón, and Kicho Díaz on double bass. This quartet debuted in the first recordings in 1953 with the tracks La Cachila and Palomita blanca. In the same year, they recorded A Pedro Maffia and Sobre el pucho, although the latter appears cut in many editions.

In 1954, Troilo and Grela recorded Diablito and Un placer as a trio with Kicho Díaz. In 1955, again as a quartet, they recorded La Cumparsita, Nunca tuvo novio, Mi refugio, A la guardia nueva, El abrojito, and Guardia nueva. In these recordings, the interplay and call-and-response between Troilo and Grela were outstanding, showcasing great naturalness and virtuosity in their performances.

In 1962, the quartet reunited with new members: Ernesto Báez on guitarrón and Eugenio Pro on double bass, and recorded an LP for the RCA Victor label titled Troilo-Grela. This album is a testament to Troilo's legacy and his ability to reinvent himself and explore new musical horizons.

A significant moment was the recording of Nocturno a mi barrio in 1968, with a renewed version of the quartet that included electric guitar (Ubaldo De Lío), piano (Osvaldo Berlingieri), and double bass (Rafael del Bagno). This piece reflects Troilo's deep connection with his neighborhood and childhood.

Leopoldo Federico also formed a quartet with Grela and recorded several albums that reflect the same mastery and musical sensitivity that characterized Troilo and his quartet.

The recordings of the quartet show the ability of Troilo and Grela to create an intimate and collaborative atmosphere, highlighting their natural virtuosity. Despite the technical difficulties of the recordings at TK, the musical quality of these sessions remains evident and represents one of the most creative and innovative periods of Troilo.

In summary, Troilo's era with TK is remembered for its atypical formations, the collaboration with Roberto Grela, and the exploration of new musical horizons that enriched and modernized tango.
