La viruta is an instrumental Tango composed by Vicente Greco.
“La viruta”, translated to English, means “The Shavings”. This title evokes the image of delicate, intricate details that are crafted from something raw and whole. As an instrumental piece, it suggests a fine weaving of musical textures and rhythms, each note serving like a shaving that, when combined with others, forms a dynamic and expressive interpretation of the human experience. The music may embark on a journey starting from a raw, unpolished state, and through precise, sharp melodies, transforms into an elegant and refined dance, much like how shavings are byproducts of an artisan’s careful work.
Known as the “King of the Beat”, Juan D’Arienzo took “La viruta” and infused it with his signature lively tempo and vigorous energy, which were hallmarks of his style. His orchestra brought the composition to life with a forward-driving rhythm that was both compelling and joyous. D’Arienzo’s version of “La viruta” emphasizes a crisp and vivacious performance, resonating with dancers and listeners alike, as it captures the spirit of Buenos Aires and the vibrant world of tango in a way that only his vigorous style could achieve.
