Alberto Echagüe

Singer and author (March 8, 1909 – February 22, 1987)

As for the cashbox, Alberto Echagüe was the most important singer of Juan D’Arienzo’s orchestra. Still, furthermore, he was a gentleman, an honest man whose fame never changed, and he succeeded in bringing up a family and being loved by all those who knew him.

When D’Arienzo’s speed allowed it, his sensitive voice, dramatic at times, appeared capable of wisely telling the story in the lyrics.

In 1932, he was a singer in the Ángel D’Agostino orchestra.

D’Agostino himself was who introduced him to Juan D’Arienzo.

There the spark of one of the most popular teams of the forties was lighted up: D’Arienzo-Echagüe.

The singer’s relationship with El Rey del compás (The Rhythm King) had various stages, which continued until 1975.
