Songs Gardel interpreted in his films

The songs that Gardel interpreted in his films have a special significance since we do not only see his image in a vocal expression, these songs add a special flavour to his music due to a variety of vocal and instrumental accompaniments, musical arrangements and locations ranging from Buenos Aires, Joinville and New York.  

Eleven short films: (*)
Mano a mano, Tengo miedo, Padrino pelao, Yira yira, Añoranzas, Canchero, Enfundá la mandolina, El carretero (all of these with guitars), Viejo smoking and Rosas de otoño (these last two with the Francisco Canaro orquestra). The 11th short recently rescued was El quinielero.

* Like this one many other cases have occurred and still take place, half hazardly, from time to time... The last extraordinary finding was made by Horacio Ismael Atadía. He found in 2000, among the country elements and other utensils that his father had bought in auctions, a movie reel in which Gardel is starred singing "El quinielero" and an excerpt of "Amargura". These tango pieces are added to the ten numbers known of the film Encuadre de Canciones, directed by Eduardo Morera. The latter said on several occasions that the titles sung by Gardel in his movie had been fifteen. Nobody had evidence of their existence. We think that the immense oeuvre of the one also known as "El Mago" still has surprises waiting for us. (Source: Todotango.com).
