Graciano De Leone

Bandoneonist, leader and composer (July 16, 1890 – June 21, 1945)

This porteño was initially a guitarist. His friend, Eduardo Arolas, persuaded him to pick up the bandoneon.

His beginning with the new instrument was —towards 1910- at the Café del Griego, though, in fact, its name was Café Royal.

Thirty-two numbers of his own have been found.

Many of them were committed to disc.

“Tierra negra” is one of his outstanding numbers.

Alejandro Scarpino & Juan Caldarella, Argentine Tango musicians and composers.

Alejandro Scarpino

Bandoneonist, leader and composer (16 January 1904 – 27 May 1970)

He was, as a performer, a player with excellent technique and command of his instrument.

Although he tended to use some gimmicks to impress his audience and used to play many embellishment notes —known in the milieu as «verduras»— his musicianship is not under suspicion.

He displayed his skills by playing two bandoneons, one with each hand, placed vertically on the floor.

Alejandro Scarpino composed around 200 pieces. “Canaro en París” and “Seguime si podés” with Juan Caldarella, among them.
