Felicia is an instrumental Tango composed by Enrique Saborido.
The name “Felicia,” which translates to “Happiness” in English, evokes an emotion and atmosphere of joy and exuberance, which is brilliantly captured in its rendition by Juan D’Arienzo’s orchestra. In this instrumental interpretation, one can imagine the vibrant hustle and charm of Buenos Aires’ tango salons, where every note flirts with elegance and zest. The piece begins with a brisk and lively tempo, embodying a dance of hopeful spirits and cheerful encounters. The violins sing brightly, while the bandoneons add a rich layer of warmth and nostalgia, creating an irresistible aura of celebration. The rhythmic piano and the percussion drive the dancers’ movements, cascading through dynamic shifts that mirror moments of serenity and crescendos of ecstatic delight.
Juan D’Arienzo, known as “El Rey del Compás” (The King of the Beat), brings his distinct style to “Felicia,” emphasizing rhythmic precision and energetic tempo. His orchestra’s interpretation of “Felicia” underscores the vibrant and vivacious qualities that tango music possesses under his baton. D’Arienzo’s arrangement highlights the piece’s foundational elements, where each section layers to create a complex, yet harmonious narrative, inviting listeners and dancers alike to indulge in its lively essence. His approach imbues the composition with a compelling vitality, ensuring “Felicia” remains a timeless incarnation of joy and dance.
