There are not few the Tango lovers who assure that, after Carlos Gardel, there is Raúl Berón. 

They ponder his sense of rhythm, interpretive quality, the careful and melodic elaboration of the phrase, his unusual talent for singing over the beat, and what some critics described as his “sweet sadness”. 

Miguel Caló must have appreciated some of these virtues when in 1939, he decided to summon him as a singer of his orchestra. 

Berón was not yet twenty years old at the time, although he had already been working as a soloist singer for a couple of years on the radio.

A natural enemy of any bombast, Berón was one of the greatest singers which Tango gave.

Raúl Berón was one of the most perfect incarnations of the Gardelian model. Berón had a darker voice than Gardel — a high baritone, reaching the tenor regions comfortably — although timbre is one aspect of a style among others.

A pianist strongly inclined to romanticism, viewed as the Chopin of the Tango.

His subtle, almost ethereal and suggestive touch, deprived of any emphasis or pomposity, led him to create an orchestral style based on the same pattern.

Plain and transparent, his arrangements conceived fancy solos alternating piano, bandoneon and violin.

That style of his, born toward 1940, influenced the entire decade and contrasted with both the popular tango (with Juan D’Arienzo as remarkable example) and the academic tango (Anibal Troilo).

His tangos lack any tough or coarse traces but also any symphonic pretension.

He preferred to convey a simple emotion and accurate expression, which he achieved through a permanent self-control.

A lyricist essentially poetic, sensitive, and prolific, José María Contursi created a great number of hits.

His huge work reveals a creator of even inspiration, careful and experienced, exceptionally original, and truly daring.

He provided the abundant product of his inspiration to the demand of tango canción which took place for about two decades after the late 30s.

The critical role of the singers in the orchestras urged a repertory designed for them and adjusted to the tastes of the age.

Among José María Contursi’s outstanding lyrics, we must mention “Tú”, with music by José Dames.

The Miguel Caló orchestra will be remembered as the best tango performance, one that goes beyond its age and that today is recognized for its great artistic qualities and by a dancing group that permanently evokes it.

Caló carried out and developed a style that connects traditional tango with the innovations of the age, without stridence, with a highlighted presence of the violins, a rhythmic bandoneon section, and a spectacular piano.

He not only promoted great musicians but also great singers that made their professional debut in his orchestra, for example, Raúl Berón.
