Vino Lub'vi (The Wine of Love) Tango (M.Marianowski) - A.F. Jankowski, Tenor with Saxophon-Orchester Dobbri, Parlophon c. 1927 (German product)
NOTE: It's perhaps one of the most beautiful European tangoes of the 1920s.

This time, we can hear its completely unknown rendition by a singer, who I was not able to identify. Perhaps, A.F. Jankowski (the name looks purely Polish) was one of those many a singers, who performed in the Imperial Russia until Bolshevic Revolution of 1917, and later emigrated to Berlin, Paris or New York, where after several years of a desperate struggle for some artistic position, they finally surrendered and their names vanished. Only a handful of them - Isa Kremer, Aaron Lebedieff, Wertinsky, Leschenko or Morfessi - were successful in maintaining or even increasing their artistic position.
