Miguel Bucino

Bandoneonist, dancer, lyricist, and composer (August 14, 1905 – December 15, 1973)

Miguel Bucino initially struggled as a musician but flourished as a tango dancer and composer. Encouraged by Francisco Canaro to dance, he debuted professionally in 1925 and gained fame touring with figures like Julio De Caro.

Bucino pioneered tango performances at prestigious venues, including Teatro Colón, and across Europe.

His composition skills shone with songs like “Bailarín compadrito.”

After teaching dance to royalty and Hollywood stars, Bucino retired in 1942, profoundly impacting Tango as a performer and composer until his death in 1973.
