Learn to dance Argentine Tango in the San Francisco Bay Area:
Bandoneon player and composer (25 April 1893 – 22 September 1967)
At 13, he played the accordion, but later he devoted himself to the bandoneon as it was the most popular instrument. Finally, at 17, he started to play professionally in the Eduardo Arolas quartet for the cinemas of Avellaneda.
With Arolas, he also performed in the famous Café El Estribo on Entre Ríos and Independencia Avenue.
He started composing in 1913 with the tango “Paja brava” and continued writing until he reached more or less 400 edited works.
Among the most successful is the popular milonga “El paisanito”.
It is the number 1 source for professional Tango DJs all over the world.

Learn to dance Argentine Tango in the San Francisco Bay Area:
Bandoneonist, leader and composer (16 January 1904 – 27 May 1970)
He was, as a performer, a player with a very good technique and a great command of his instrument.
He was born on January 6, 1922, on 753 Agüero Street —in the heart of the neighborhood of el Abasto—.
In 1925 he appeared at a café of La Boca —Noce—, the place where Scarpino might have composed his famous tango “Canaro en París”.
The composer himself, in a radio interview, said that it was a number with no title. But one day when he was on a streetcar in the Última Hora newspaper he read a headline: «Canaro arrives in Paris». Those lines inspired him and soon later, before the creation of SADAIC, on May 6, 1927 he filed a record —as it was costumary then— at the Biblioteca Nacional as «Gran tango de salón para piano».
