presented by BORIS YVAIN in Songs and Dances with CARMEN DEL Rio
Boris Yvain 's orchestra, which specialises in tangos, rumbas, Viennese waltzes and gypsy music, has won great popularity since its first broadcast last May. The combination of the Continentals consists of two pianos, piano accordion, two violins and guitar. Their repertoire, which is extensive, includes music that has been specially collected and arranged from national songs and dances all over the world, particularly Argentine music. The vocalist and announcer is the beautiful and gifted Carmen del Rio, who, herself half South American, has sung all over South America, and was the first woman to broadcast out there, from Buenos Aires.
