“Mentira” by Ángel D’Agostino y su Orquesta Típica with Ángel Vargas in vocals, 1945.

Francisco Pracánico

Pianist, composer and leader (May 15, 1898 – December 30, 1971)

Today he is remembered more as a composer than an interpreter, undoubtedly due to the difficulty in finding the recordings of his orchestra.

All his compositions are memorable pages, often possessing a sorrowful melody of rare and precious nostalgia.

As an orchestra conductor, he kept his style unaltered, with certain similarities to several orchestras of the period, as suitable for dancers as for those who wanted to listen to a fashionable record comfortably at home.
