Los treinta y tres orientales is an instrumental Tango composed by José Felipetti.
The title “Los treinta y tres orientales” refers to a group of 33 revolutionary fighters who played a crucial role in the history of Uruguay’s independence. When translated to English, it means “The Thirty-Three Orientals.” As an instrumental piece performed by the Tango Orchestra Carlos di Sarli, the music can be interpreted as an evocation of a historical and heroic journey. The powerful and vibrant strings can embody the determination and courage of these men, while the piano punctuations highlight strategic movement and the marching rhythm of resolute action. The band’s unique style, characterized by di Sarli’s elegant arrangements, brings out a deep emotional resonance reminiscent of a proud call to arms and unyielding spirit. The piece rises and falls with the tension and resolution of historical sacrifice, presenting a rich tapestry of honor and legacy.
Carlos di Sarli’s orchestra, known for its refined and polished approach to tango, offers a distinctive and emotive rendering of “Los treinta y tres orientales.” Featuring lush, sweeping melodies and strong rhythmic undertones, the orchestra pays homage to the bravery and vision embodied by the original “Thirty-Three Orientals.” The composition, while maintaining its essence as a traditional tango, is enlivened by di Sarli’s nuanced interpretation that reflects the intricacies of historical strife and triumph through profound musical storytelling.
