- Piotr LESCHENKO (b. 1898 in a village Isaeva, Ukraine) was known as 'the king of the Russian tango' and his singing was passionate and rich. Born in a Russian town south of Odessa in what was to become Romania after the 1st world war, he became an icon throughout Eastern Europe, one of the most sought after popular singers of his time. Having left Russia after the Bolshevik revolution, he toured in Europe, gaining enormous success in Warsaw, Paris, Riga, Bucharest - where he finally settled, and run his own cabaret. These 1931 -35 recordings are part of the work from what were considered to be his peak years, from the early to mid 1930s.
After World War II the Soviet army came to Romania, Leshchenko and his wife Vera were arrested by communist Romanian militia. Vera was sent to the Soviet Union, where she was condemned to penal labour and Piotr was imprisoned near Bucharest. He died in a prison hospital on July 16, 1954.
Oscar Davidovich STROK was born in Dvinsk (Latvija) on 24 December 1892. His father was a theatre orchestra musician. O.Strok started getting interested in music very early. First he learned to play violin, then - piano. At the age of 12 he entered the St.-Petersburg Conservatoire where he studied in the piano class. In Latvia in 20s.-30s. of the 20th century, O.Strok worked as a pianist and conductor of a dance orchestra and composed musical romances, waltzes, and jazz compositions. In 1928 he went to France on a concert tour. In the interim between the 1st and the 2nd World Wars, his dance music was extremely popular in Europe. It could be heard everywhere -- in Paris, London, Warsaw and Berlin or Moscow -- at restaurants and cafes, concert halls and dancehalls, thousands and thousand records of his music were issued. After the composer's trip to Shanghai and Tokyo in 1935, his most beautiful tangos, such as: „Ach, eti cziornyje głaza" (Ah, Those Black Eyes), „Skazitie, poczemu?" („Tell Me Why, Madame?) or „Siniaja rapsodija" (Lunar Rhapsody) became well-known in China and Japan as well. That is why O.Strok was called "Tango King" already on his lifetime. He died on 22 June 1975 in Riga.

Thank you for sharing your information. There is a special place in my heart for his wonderful performances.
Przecudowne tango.
I don't have a chance to dance tango, but I would for sure...Leschenko was very good at the time... Let's keep his songs and his history....!
Que tango mas lindo ! Tiene un gran sabor de nostalgia y sentimiento típico de los tangos argentinos. Lindas fotos de Bucarest. Evoca un tiempo pasado de esplendor poco antes de la guerra que arruinó todo. Su nombre DIME POR QUE? fue muy bien escogido. Tengo el texto en cyrilico y ya lo he aprendido para interpretarlo en un reunión de amigos. Coincidencialmente le habia hablado de este tango a una joven amiga rumana que resultó haber vivido en Ucrania y habla el idioma de LeonTolstoi y Boris Pasternak . Saludos desde Cali, Colombia
Usd.tiene razon absolutamente!!!Sergio desde Rusia.
I thought that I had all the Strok songs sung by Leshchenko... but I was missing this one - so thank you!!

@dropsofmusic: in fact most of them are still there... i counted and there are only 6 buildings that are not anymore :))). But the spirit of the city is different and the new buidings that r quite agressive are guilty for this. And traffic.:)

Tell Me Why?
By sheer chance I saw you last night,
You hardly knew about it.
Discreetly I watched you, held you in my sight,
Nostalgia dimmed my grief a bit.
All over me rushed recollections,
The bygone days' charms rose like dreams,
And burning flame of past affection
Lit up again in my blood stream.
My darling, tell me why
We have been separated?
Why'd you leave me forever, tell me why?
I know your love for me burned unabated,
But you have left. Please tell me, tell me why?
My darling, tell me why
We have been separated?
Why'd you leave me forever, tell me why?
I know your love for me burned unabated,
But you have left. Please tell me, tell me why?
I know your love for me burned unabated,
But you have left. Please tell me, tell me why?
