Guillermo Barbieri with Carlos Gardel and other musicians. Argentine Tango music.

Guillermo Barbieri

Guitarist, singer, lyricist and composer (September 25, 1894 – June 24, 1935)

Those were years of difficult rivalry in composition that Guillermo Barbieri triumphantly passed. Many of the tunes of Gardel’s songbook were also hits in the best tango orchestras of the period.

Because of all that was said, Guillermo Barbieri rightly deserves to be considered one of the most essential names in Tango.

Among his outstanding compositions, we like to mention “Rosas de otoño”.

Alberto Podestá, Argentine Tango singer.

Alberto Podestá

Singer and composer (22 September 1924 – 9 December 2015)

“One evening somebody brought me a business card, it had been handed to the waiter by a gentleman named Vázquez, that was Carlos Di Sarli’s agent. 

He wanted me to meet him at a nearby barroom after my show was over. 

In the beginning, I held it in my hands. 

As I realized I was creasing it, I put it into my pocket. 

Since the time the card was handed to me until the end of my performance that evening my body was shivering. 

But I swear that I sang as never before. 

Imagine, to have the chance of singing with Di Sarli before I was 18. 

It was like a dream come true!”
