“El arroyito” by Enrique Rodriguez y su Orquesta Típica, 1948.
Samuel Castriota
Pianist, guitarist, leader and composer. (2 November 1885 – 8 July 1932)
He was a musician of good aptitudes and outstanding importance in the generation of instrumentalists that covered the history of Tango in the early decades of this century.
And he had the merit, and the honor, of having helped to frame the strong rungs of that ladder which Tango climbed.
Among the works he composed, apart from his most famous: “Mi noche triste”, we must mention “El arroyito”.
