José García

Violinist, leader and composer (July 22, 1908 – April 5, 2000)

Soon after he finished his studies, José García put up a conservatory in Lanús. He tried to pass on the knowledge he had acquired through hard work to the kids with musical inclinations in that locality. Soon, the enthusiastic, brand-new teacher was favored by many vibrant students.

In 1926 he formed an infant orchestra lined-up by students of his Conservatory. Some of them later joined his polished outfit Los Zorros Grises..

As a composer, José García wrote 28 numbers, from which these stand out: the tango “Esta noche de luna”.

Guitarist, composer and leader
(21 October 1896 – 25 December 1960)

He was an excellent guitarist that as such placed his qualities as composer in a second level because of the acclaim of his appearances. Such is the case of “Fea” that with lyrics by Alfredo Navarrine was firstly recorded by Ignacio Corsini in 1924 and by Carlos Gardel in the following year. Also with lyrics by Navarrine he composed “Galleguita” and “Torcacita”. They were recorded by Corsini in 1923 and 1924 and by Gardel one year later. Continue reading.
