Rodolfo Sciammarella

Pianist, composer and lyricist (8 October 1902 – 24 June 1973)

In Rodolfo Sciammarella’s family, everybody played a musical instrument.

He chose the piano.

They say that his professional career started in 1926 as a pianist and singer at the beginnings of the radio.

And that the same year he composed this tango.

His most popular numbers are characterized by their pleasant melodies that the public immediately adopted, learning them by heart through whistling and songs in the streets and at work.

Raúl Berón

Singer (30 March 1920 – 28 June 1982)

He was, for some people, the best orchestra singer in the history of tango.

Although other major vocalists rival him this position in the opinion of the connoisseurs.

In an undeniable Gardelian tradition, tenor register and velvet sound, his peak in popularity coincided exactly with the period of greatest popularity for tango: from his inclusion in the Miguel Caló orchestra in 1939 until his withdrawal from the Aníbal Troilo orchestra in 1955.

Oscar Rubens

Lyricist and composer (18 January 1914 – 6 October 1984)

Oscar was a prototypical lyricist of the 40s, with his sad lyrics, of love affairs laden with romanticism and, because of that, they are elementary, with neither contradictions nor psychological complexities.

He always made use of the poetic touch, but without overshadowing the lyricist: his lines, heard from a singer’s lips, come nicely blended with the music, but it is not advisable to read them looking for a poem.

Among his works, we can highlight “Se fue”, with music by Horacio Salgán.

Francisco Gorrindo

Lyricist (5 October 1908 – 2 January 1963)

Gorrindo achieved a close relationship with Juan D’Arienzo´s orchestra, whose performances had reached enormous popularity.

He was closely linked to its leader and several musicians of the formation, which was the vehicle for making many of his tangos be known.

It was to the Rey del Compás that Gorrindo gave the lyrics of his tango “Paciencia”.

D’Arienzo composed the music for him and recorded it immediately, with the voice of his singer Enrique Carbel on October 29, 1937, achieving immediate success.
