“Cómo se pianta la vida” by Ricardo Tanturi y su Orquesta Típica with Alberto Castillo in vocals, 1942.
Carlos Viván
He had a warm voice, within an alto-tenor range, as it was common then, plus a feature that made his voice unmistakable: his vibrato.
He was a tireless traveler and made numerous tours throughout Latin America, especially Brazil and the United States.
His figure, stunning image, and way of dressing made possible his participation as a mannequin vivant, by that time a fashionable job, at the main shop windows and on the downtown streets. His definitive artistic last name was born without that final “t”.
He was a featured lead actor and singer in theater plays with many companies.
Carlos Viván, besides being a great vocalist, he was the composer of many widespread tangos.
He is remembered as a gentleman, respectful of friendship and loyal towards his friends, who revered and honored woman and had a great sense of humor.
