“Sólo se quiere una vez” by Anibal Troilo y su Orquesta Típica with Floreal Ruiz in vocals, 1946.
Claudio Frollo
Lyricist (8 June 1887 – 20 March 1942)
Enthusiast of popular music began writing lyrics in 1927.
Dedicated to it definitively, he contributed significant successes such as the tango “Sólo se quiere una vez”.
He was a lawyer and an author. Judge of Instruction in the courts of the Federal Capital for several years, he knew how to reflect in his books, from 1935, the most interesting court anecdotes that he had to deal with closely.
“Carillón de La Merced” by Orquesta Típica Victor with Ernesto Famá in vocals, 1931.
Alfredo Le Pera
Poet, lyricist, journalist, playwright and cinema script writer. (7 June 1900 – 24 June 1935)
In his lyrics Le Pera tried to use a language that would be understood by all the Spanish-speaking world.
Then widening, in that way, the geography of tango.
In fact, Gardel, with his mimicry, broke the barriers of the language. Like every great interpreter, his language was universal.
However, in spite of that we cannot underestimate Le Pera’s contribution, who, by launching the singer beyond the closed localism which surrounded the poetry of tango, he helped his friend by making easier his road to a vast conquest.

“Maragata” by Anibal Troilo y su Orquesta Típica with Francisco Fiorentino in vocals, 1941.
Francisco Martino
Guitarist, singer, composer and dancer (6 June 1884 – 25 May 1938)
There was no criollo gathering or gaucho ensemble in Buenos Aires and its outskirts that did not count him as one of its great entertainers since 1900, since as a child he began in the art of footwork and very soon afterward, the secrets of the guitar to accompany himself singing first and then serve their inspiration, in styles, figures, and milongas.
Already in his first adventures, Carlos Gardel recorded the style “El Sueño”, his original work, in 1912, on Columbia records, and over time he did the same with “Maragata”.
Martino died in 1938, but three years after his death, Aníbal Troilo, who deeply admired Carlos Gardel and wanted his orchestra to sound like the voice of the Morocho, adapted this tune in time of tango and made a wonderful creation with the priceless intonation by Francisco Fiorentino.

“Duelo criollo” by Carlos Di Sarli y su Orquesta Típica with Jorge Durán in vocals, 1946.
Lito Bayardo
Guitarist, singer, composer and lyricist (March 3, 1905 – March 7, 1986)
When he was asked about the present Tango, he said:
«A new modernist theory based on a cerebral but twisted tango has arisen. The work of the consecrated artists of the first stage has been underestimated to open the way to the music of hardened technique, which is not popular. There are great names among the musicians that interpret it, but they have spoiled the rhythm of true Tango».
