Sebastian Piana, Argentine Tango musician and composer.

Sebastián Piana

Pianist, leader, and composer (26 November 1903 – 17 July 1994)

Among the artists with a very long career in our popular music, he had stood out by the hierarchy and the sustained inventiveness of his oeuvre as a composer of unforgettable classics.

You only need to listen to his works to appraise his talent, his heart of Buenos Aires man, and the noble guarantee of his inspiration.

A figure of the Boedo school, which tended to renew and improve the popular aesthetics around 1930, he shared with them the commitment to a movement that forced all the authors to selection and refinement.

With Homero Manzi, especially, he achieved what till then seemed to be impossible: finding a new path for an old genre known as milonga.

His output, as a whole, places him at the level of the major creators of our music.

Enrique Cadícamo

Poet, lyricist, composer, writer and playwright (15 July 1900 – 3 December 1999)

He was one of the most prolific authors of Tango.

It is difficult to find so prolific an author within any songbook in the world; he approached any imaginable subject to be sung and in all rhythms.

He traveled abroad, especially to France.

He published several books, wrote for theatre and cinema, and directed movies.

He was undoubtedly great in the Argentine popular song; notable, superb.

“Yo soy el Tango” by Aníbal Troilo y su Orquesta Típica with Francisco Fiorentino in vocals, 1941.

“Yo soy el Tango” by Aníbal Troilo y su Orquesta Típica with Francisco Fiorentino in vocals, 1941.

Music: Domingo Federico. Lyrics: Homero Expósito.

“I am
the milongón tango
born in the suburbs
malevos and murky.

Today,
that I am in the dance hall,
they know me tamed,
sweet and tired.
What to believe for,
why lie
that I am changed,
if I am the same as yesterday.

Listen to my song.

Don’t you see that I am gotán?

I break in my song
like a steel dagger
to sing a betrayal.
I like to compadrear,
I’m brave for dancing
listen to my song:

I am the old tango
born in the suburbs.”
