Armando Tagini

Lyricist, composer and singer (9 June 1906 – 12 July 1962)

He had the need and the habit of composing.

He himself says: “I take the themes of my songs from life itself, from what I see passing before my eyes, from every impression I pick up when passing by, adding to it my own emotion, when committing it to paper.

Every place is suitable to take notes, that later become verses… I prefer the sentimental genre and especially in tango, that is per se nostalgic, it is more attuned with the temper of our people.

I would dare to say that we, the Argentines are a little romantic…”

Claudio Frollo

Lyricist (8 June 1887 – 20 March 1942)

Enthusiast of  popular music began writing lyrics in 1927.

Dedicated to it definitively, he contributed significant successes such as the tango “Sólo se quiere una vez”.

He was a lawyer and an author. Judge of Instruction in the courts of the Federal Capital for several years, he knew how to reflect in his books, from 1935, the most interesting court anecdotes that he had to deal with closely.

Carlos Gardel & Alfredo Le Pera, Argentine Tango music.

Alfredo Le Pera

Poet, lyricist, journalist, playwright and cinema script writer. (7 June 1900 – 24 June 1935)

In his lyrics Le Pera tried to use a language that would be understood by all the Spanish-speaking world.

Then widening, in that way, the geography of tango.

In fact, Gardel, with his mimicry, broke the barriers of the language. Like every great interpreter, his language was universal.

However, in spite of that we cannot underestimate Le Pera’s contribution, who, by launching the singer beyond the closed localism which surrounded the poetry of tango, he helped his friend by making easier his road to a vast conquest.
