Pianist, leader, and composer (26 November 1903 – 17 July 1994)
A figure of the Boedo school, which tended to renew and improve the popular aesthetics around 1930, he shared with them the commitment to a movement that forced all the authors to selection and refinement.
With Homero Manzi, especially, he achieved what till then seemed to be impossible: finding a new path for an old genre known as milonga.
His output, as a whole, places him at the level of the major creators of our music.

Ricardo TanturiPianist, leader, and composer.
(27 January 1905 – 24 January 1973)
Tanturi’s great success would come in 1939 when he incorporated Alberto Castillo, a great attraction for the public.
Castillo, with his perfect tune, master ability in the use of pitches and mezza voce, seduced the audience in many possible ways: with his exaggerated gestures, his masculine elegance, and neat hairstyle, his gynecologist degree (obtained in 1942), and that sometimes intimate sometimes lively mood, all of which made a show of every tango.
In all the 37 songs recorded by Castillo before leaving Tanturi in 1943, the orchestra let him play the leading role as it did with the singer chosen to replace him, the Uruguayan Enrique Campos. Like Castillo, Campos was concerned with communicating with the public, making no attempts to display his vocal skills. He sang in an indifferent, unexcited, straightforward fashion. Behind him, the orchestra sounded self-confident, precise, and discreet, with perfection. All this turned the 51 songs recorded by Tanturi-Campos into one of the treasuries of the genre.
