Biography

Orquesta Típica Victor, also known as Orquesta Típica Select, was an Argentine orchestra formed in 1925 by RCA Victor to compete with Nacional-Odeon. The ensemble, directed by Adolfo Carabelli, debuted on November 9, 1925, recording "Olvido" and "Sarandí". Initially based in Argentina, the orchestra later recorded in Camden, New Jersey, featuring notable musicians such as Tito Roccatagliata, Osvaldo Fresedo, and Enrique Delfino. The group was dubbed "la orquesta invisible" for never performing live. Their repertoire included tangos, rancheras, waltzes, foxtrots, and other genres. Notable vocalists who collaborated with the orchestra include Carlos Lafuente, Roberto Díaz, and Alberto Gómez. In 1936, Federico Scorticati took over as director, followed by Mario Maurano in 1943. The orchestra's recordings were "Uno que ha sido marino" and "Sobre las olas", both sung by the duo Jaime Moreno and Lito Bayardo in 1944. These were the last recordings under the name Orquesta Típica Victor.
