Julio Sosa sings "Cambalache"

History of censorship of the tango "Cambalache"
"Cambalache" had the peculiar privilege of being banned by all the military dictatorships from 1943 on. Its lyrics, a witty accusation of corruption and impunity in the "década infame" (despicable decade), is in force today as it was in 1935.
