“La Yumba” by Osvaldo Pugliese y su Orquesta Típica, 1946.

Osvaldo Pugliese

Pianist, leader, composer (December 2, 1905 – July 25, 1995)

In the 1940s, Osvaldo Pugliese ventured into recording distinctive instrumental pieces that foreshadowed the avant-garde movement of the time.

One notable creation from this era was “La yumba,” a composition that eventually evolved into a veritable anthem for his orchestra.

Despite facing the suppression of his orchestra on broadcasting platforms due to political censorship, Osvaldo Pugliese’s musical influence remained resilient over the years. The attempts to curtail his widespread popularity proved futile, as his artistry continued to resonate with audiences, transcending the barriers imposed by external constraints.
