Dajos Béla Dance Orchestra – O Aragona! (Otto Stransky) Tango from the film comedy „Marion, das gehört sich nicht”[It Is No Good, Marion], Parlophone 1933 (recorded in Germany, UK pressing) 

NOTE: This side belongs to the last or one before the last recording session in Berlin, made by  Dajos Bela’s fabulous dance orchestra. Recorded in Feb 1933, this record appeared in sales just during the fervent days of the victory of Hitler’s NSDAP party in national voting in March 1933. This meant for Germany the end of the Weimar Republic and beginning of the “ein Volk, ein Reich, ein Führer” political deal. Those from among German artists who were of the Jewish, Gypsy or African origin were clever, if they packed as quickly as possible whatever they had in the reach of their hands and left Germany forever, by first available train. That’s exactly what did Dajos Béla, who was of a Jewish/Romanian descent and whose real name was Leo Golzmann. He immediately arranged for his band the  international  tour around France, Netherlands and other West European countries, until he got convinced that the safest place for him is nowhere else but over the Big Pond. In 1935 he sailed with several members of his orchestra to South America, where he successfully continued his career in Buenos Aires until his death in 1978.
