Horacio Sanguinetti, Argentine Tango lyricist

Horacio Sanguinetti

Lyricist (March 19, 1914 – December 19, 1957)

Many reasons coincide with considering him as one of the pens that helped to lend prestige to Tango literature, especially during the period deservedly famous, which has remained known in the genre’s history as The Forties.

Horacio Sanguinetti belonged to that qualified and unforgettable generation of musicians, composers, authors and interpreters.

By sensitivity, temper, and generational activity, he easily transcended through an abundant output -rich and notorious-even though with ups and downs; he is regarded and consecrated in a large number by titles that had easily overcome oblivion.

The fact that during that decade, it was impossible to find any outstanding orchestra that had not recorded some of his pieces is undeniable evidence of the level and importance of Tango’s creative labor.

Accordionist, pianist, bandleader and composer (February 7, 1903 – August 27, 1981)

Feliciano Brunelli was a composer and player of tangos, milongas, waltzes, and several other diverse rhythms, giving him the immense popularity he enjoyed for almost 40 years.

He recorded no less than 763 numbers, nearly all for the RCA-Victor label.

In the headquarters of this recording company in the United States, his photograph is on a wall alongside other musicians. He was awarded by being among the top ten-selling artists of that enterprise.

In 1933, he started a new stage in his life, which was the beginning of his popularity. 

Elvino Vardaro passed by his town, got acquainted with Feliciano, and took him to Buenos Aires. For a time, he lived in Elvino’s family house.

Carlos Bahr, Argentine Tango lyricist | Portrate

Carlos Bahr

Lyricist and composer (October 15, 1902 – July 23, 1984)

Little is known about this author, who came to Tango poetry due to his early inclination towards literature, which initially shifted towards native songwriting and later embraced urban music. With no secondary education, his formation was that of a classic autodidact who, in reading – done disorderly and without appropriate guidance since childhood – found the means that his natural intelligence was awaiting, eventually acquiring some basic knowledge to refine his language, enrich his intellect, and stimulate his literary vocation. The thematic diversity was notable in Carlos Bahr, even more evident due to the prolific nature of his work.

But his preferred subjects were love and Tango itself, which he reflected and recreated in different compositions and with various treatments, never straying from romantic flights and all brimming with urban flavor and authenticity.

We want to share this talented poet’s “Motivo sentimental” tango with our audience.
