Alberto López Buchardo

Pianist and composer (August 21, 1882 -May 28 , 1948)

Born in Buenos Aires, he was a pivotal yet forgotten figure in the tango world. His bohemian spirit led him to Paris, where he played a crucial role in introducing tango.

Known for compositions like “Germaine” and “Entre dos fuegos,” he influenced Parisian culture through his music and ideas, such as the famed tango venue “El Garrón.”

Alberto’s legacy as a tango pioneer remains a significant, albeit overlooked, chapter in musical history.
