Re fa si is an instrumental Tango composed by Enrique Delfino.
“Re fa si” translates to the musical notes D, F, B in the solfège system, which are the tonic, mediant, and leading tone in the key of B minor. This trio of notes sets the stage for an evocative and passionate tango composition. Imagine the music begins with a subtle interplay of these notes, flowing seamlessly together. The piece opens with an alluring violin which echoes the haunting melancholy often found in tangos. As the melody unfolds, the pulsating piano enters, adding a rhythmic foundation that pulls dancers into its embrace. In the middle section, the bandoneon’s voice swells, imbued with longing and a sense of nostalgia. The interaction between these instruments paints a vivid picture of tango’s emotional landscape, evoking the architecture and soul of Buenos Aires in the 1930s. The composition concludes with a dramatic crescendo, leaving listeners reflecting on the depth and passion ingrained within the notes “Re fa si.”
Known as the “King of the Beat,” Juan D’Arienzo adds his signature energetic flair to “Re fa si,” amplifying its rhythmic intensity and driving momentum. His orchestra, with its vibrant strings and dynamic bandoneón ensemble, captures the essence of Enrique Delfino’s composition while infusing it with a distinctive sound characteristic of the late 1930s golden era of tango. D’Arienzo’s interpretation heightens the drama inherent in the piece, making it an irresistible invitation for dancers of tango to take to the floor. This recording exemplifies D’Arienzo’s ability to blend intricate melodic lines with a powerful ensemble sound, ensuring “Re fa si” resonates passionately with audiences both when it was first recorded and for generations thereafter.
