Jacinto Font

Lyricist and journalist (September 2, 1892 – April 15, 1962)

His participation in journalism dates from the first Buenos Aires newspapers, where he served as a theatrical and turf chronicler. 

He proudly wore a gold medal won in a turf forecasting contest.

His interests led him to write songs for plays, singing some of his tangos on stage.

From his work as a composer, we highlight “Yo me llamo Eloy Peralta”.

Tango and daily events

Music: Francisco Cafiero.

All or almost all the themes of daily events were taken to the music sheets by the composers: politics, sports, the feats of the brave who forged our fledgling aviation, children’s games, the characters of Buenos Aires, commercial advertisements, and so on.

These subjects and many more were, undoubtedly, an important part of the basis of our Tango repertoire.

“El vals soñador” by Miguel Caló y su Orquesta Típica with Raúl Berón in vocals, 1942 (English translation).

“El vals soñador” by Miguel Caló y su Orquesta Típica with Raúl Berón in vocals, 1942 (English translation).

Music: Armando Pontier. Lyrics: Oscar Rubens.

Who when hearing the first bars of the waltz
he has not intended to dance.
If it even seems that the world in its eternal roll
it will turn to the beat of some waltz.

If you have dreamed, in your arms to be able to hold,
to that blonde who charms with her look.
Very close together you both will be
if follow the rhythm of the waltz.

To dream,
let yourself be lulled,
say such sweet words in the ear
that invite to love.

To dream,
following the beat,
closing your eyes,
very close your mouths, the dream of the waltz.

To feel that imprisons us
perfume of love.
Then an angel with a voice from heaven
steals our farewell.

To dream,
following the beat
that everything is different
if you give your soul
to the rhythm of the waltz.

Pedro Maffia, Argentine Tango musician and composer

Pedro Maffia

Bandoneonist, leader, composer, teacher (August 28, 1899 – October 16, 1967)

He was the great stylist of the bandoneon.

Even in his physical attitude in the handling of the instrument.

As soon as he opened his ‘jaula’ (cage, as also the bandoneon was known), getting rid of the spectacular creases of the bellows in fan-like manner…

Because Maffia did not have need of more air.
