Album Review: La Mentirosa / Con Sentimento by Malando And His Tango Orchestra Released in 1957 under the Philips label, La Mentirosa / Con Sentimento by Malando And His Tango Orchestra is a curious gem from Greece that blends the boldness of brass with military precision. It’s not every day you stumble upon an album that feels both nostalgic and strikingly unique, but this one hits differently. The genre, Brass & Military, sets the stage for something ceremonial yet deeply emotional—a rare combination that Malando and his ensemble pull off with surprising finesse. Let’s dive into the tracks. First up is “La Mentirosa,” which roughly translates to “The Liar.” Right off the bat, it grabs your attention with its punchy horn section and tight drum rolls. There's a swagger to it—like watching someone strut down the street knowing they’re full of mischief but impossible to ignore. You can almost picture dancers in sharp suits twirling around a smoky ballroom. What sticks with me about this track is how effortlessly it balances playfulness and tension, keeping listeners on their toes. By the time the last note fades, you're left wondering what kind of liar inspired such vibrant music. Was she charming? Dangerous? Both? That ambiguity stays with you long after the song ends. Then there’s “Con Sentimento,” which shifts gears entirely. Where “La Mentirosa” was all bravado, this piece leans into raw emotion. The title itself means "with feeling," and boy, does it deliver. The arrangement feels more subdued, letting the soulful melodies take center stage. It’s as if the instruments are whispering secrets to each other, creating a mood that’s intimate yet universal. I found myself replaying this track several times just to soak in its warmth. If “La Mentirosa” makes you want to dance, “Con Sentimento” makes you want to sit quietly and reflect—a beautiful contrast within the same record. It’s worth noting that this Greek release carries a certain je ne sais quoi that sets it apart from other albums of its era. Maybe it’s the Mediterranean influence subtly woven into the arrangements or the fact that Malando’s orchestra seems unafraid to experiment within the confines of their genre. Either way, it’s refreshing. In reflecting on La Mentirosa / Con Sentimento, I’m reminded of how music can transport us—not just across borders but through emotions too. Who would’ve thought a mid-century Greek album could feel so alive today? Oddly enough, listening to it made me crave baklava, though I’m not sure why. Perhaps because both are layered, rich, and leave you wanting more.
