A Luz

"A media luz" (transl. "In the Dim Light") is a tango song composed by Edgardo Donato with lyrics by Carlos César Lenzi. Originally produced for an Uruguayan revue, it found success after it was recorded by Carlos Gardel and released on Disco Nacional Odeón in 1926. As Gardel's release found success, the song was also recorded by other Rioplatense artists and it was often performed in the European tango circuits. Additionally, Donato and Lenzi's composition became one of the most popular tango songs of all time in Argentina and Uruguay. "A media luz" has been recorded by several artists and performed by touring orchestras worldwide, and versions of the song have been featured in diverse films.
