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 that goes beyond its age and is recognized today for its outstanding artistic qualities and by a dancing group that permanently evokes it.

Caló 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.
