“Ensueños” by Carlos Di Sarli y su Orquesta Típica, 1943.
Luis Brighenti
Luis Brighenti, a multifaceted artist born on December 3, 1906, in Buenos Aires’ vibrant Villa Crespo neighborhood, was more than just a pianist and composer – he was a musical trailblazer and leader. His father, Héctor, a musician himself, likely played a pivotal role in sparking Luis’s passion for music.
After completing his elementary school education, Luis embarked on a unique journey. He secured a job at the Droguería Americana, dedicating four years of hard work to finance his piano lessons. Determination fueled his ambition, and as he mastered various musical pieces, he took a bold step toward a full-time music career.
Initiating his musical career in the local cinema theaters, Luis’s talent quickly caught the attention of the music scene. By 1927, he had become a pianist in the Ricardo Brignolo Orchestra, later diversifying his musical pursuits by collaborating with various other orchestras.
As a composer, Luis Brighenti’s legacy is immortalized through his masterpiece, “Ensueños” – a tango graced with a captivating melody.
Though adorned with lyrics by Enrique Cadícamo, the piece is often celebrated in its instrumental form.
Luis Brighenti’s life story is a testament to the transformative power of passion and dedication, proving that the pursuit of one’s artistic calling can lead to a legacy that transcends time.
