Temperamental is the descriptive expression most suited to define the interpretive style of this bandoneon player so crucial in the 1950s and 1960s.

His outstanding sound and abilities as “fueye cadenero” (leading player) made him unique in the style he embraced as his own: the one of Juan D’Arienzo’s.

His playing technique on that instrument was inborn.

He possessed a perfect fingering with both hands and an expressive natural manner when playing, and he knew that mistakes or wrong notes were not frequent for him.

As a composer, one of his most outstanding pieces is “Calla bandoneón”.

Marvil, a highly esteemed lyricist, left an indelible mark on the world of Tango, and his lyrical creations resonate across the lively atmospheres of milongas.

Embarking on his journey into tango lyricism in the mid-thirties, Marvil dedicated two fruitful decades to crafting evocative verses. From the outset, he achieved remarkable success, his compositions striking a chord with audiences.

Collaborating with numerous musicians, Marvil skillfully melded his words with captivating melodies.

A multitude of renowned voices lent their talent to bring his tangos to life.

A true maestro of Tango, Marvil adeptly captured the essence of his era. Infusing his work with a blend of humor and sensitivity, he painted a nostalgic portrait of his youth using watercolors that exuded tenderness and bore the distinctive mark of the forties.

His father was the first one who guided him through the secrets of the music.

He stood out as a composer.

He had said about his first composition: «I had sent the handwritten copies of “Mentiras criollas” to the Max Glücksmann house which was located on Florida Street where El Ateneo bookstore is today. One morning, knowing that they had already chosen the twenty-four tangos for the 1929 contest, I went there to see if my number had been picked up to contest at the qualifying rounds. The examining jury included Gardel, Razzano, Firpo, Canaro, and Don Mauricio Godard; at the hall, I met Carlitos who was getting off the elevator and was wearing a maroon overcoat and a brown hat. He greeted me with a smile. I was almost a teenager then but I approached him to ask him if my tango had been chosen and he replied: «Look, boy, with that name there are five or six tangos but the one chosen is very good. I don’t know if it is yours», and then he hummed to me «…que si corren pa’ ganar te lo vienen a decir»… Filled with joy I told him: «That is mine, Mr. Gardel». «Well, congratulations, it’s a nice tango», he replied.

He was the creator of many musical themes and had 373 of them registered under his name.

Some of his works are linked to the theme of sports, such as “El sueño del pibe” and the lyrics of Reinaldo Yiso, possibly his best-known work.

Another of his beautiful compositions is “Por eso canto yo”.
