“Seguime si podés” by Juan D’Arienzo y su Orquesta Típica, 1945.

Alejandro Scarpino

Bandoneonist, leader and composer (16 January 1904 – 27 May 1970)

He was, as a performer, a player with excellent technique and command of his instrument.

Although he tended to use some gimmicks to impress his audience and used to play many embellishment notes —known in the milieu as «verduras»— his musicianship is not under suspicion.

He displayed his skills by playing two bandoneons, one with each hand, placed vertically on the floor.

Alejandro Scarpino composed around 200 pieces. “Canaro en París” and “Seguime si podés” with Juan Caldarella, among them.
