Music: Ricardo Tanturi. Lyrics: Juan Carlos Thorry.

A short time ago it was your love
the light that illuminated my existence
and for both of us, it was only yesterday,
there was no word absence.

Ours was the love of twenty years,
love of Margarita and Duval.
But, the usual, a disappointment
in the end she had to push us away.

What does it matters
to be told that you have changed
and that you have placed a jewel
on the site of the heart!

What does it matters
if you left my side,
only I know why it was
I paid for your love
with evil and treason.

It would end up challenging work trying to mention all the musicians that passed through the ranks of the Juan D’Arienzo orchestra.

His career encompassed over forty-five years of work and success, appearing at hundreds of venues, radio stations, and clubs and traveling throughout our country and Uruguay.

The story begins with Alfredo Améndola, owner of the Electra label and brother-in-law of Juan D’Arienzo’s father, who offered the young musician to cut recordings in his enterprise.

The idea was that by putting together an orchestra, in that way, he would put his life on track.

And so it happened.

Pascual Clausi

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”.
