Rafael Canaro, Argentine Tango musician, leads and composer.

Rafael Canaro

Bass player, leader and composer (June 22, 1890 - January 28, 1972)

After various performances, he left in 1925 as a component of his brother Francisco Canaro's orchestra to Paris, performing double bass and handsaw.

In 1926 he went to New York with the same, and at the end of that tour, he returned to France, where he led his orchestra until 1939; he returned to Buenos Aires for reasons of war after touring all of Europe with Creole and European elements which became the tango, and the Middle East.

He did not compose much music, but his first work, the tango “Sentimiento gaucho”, which he did with Francisco, exceeded the limits of popularity; he was awarded the first prize in the first tango contest of the discs Nacional in late 1924, is one of the classic tangos of all time.

Its famous lyrics are by Juan Andrés Caruso.
