Floreal Ruiz, Argentine Tango singer.

Floreal Ruiz

Singer (March 29, 1916 – April 17, 1978)

He was undoubtedly a subtle, delicate singer with excellent diction, which allowed the understanding of the lyrics and their dramatics.

In 1943, he joined the orchestra led by Alfredo De Angelis, with whom he recorded eight numbers; the first was “Marioneta”.

Admired by the new generations, he is the model of a way of feeling and interpreting our Tango.

In his adolescence, around 1934, Floreal ventured into singing serenades.

Despite his father’s opposition, he appeared in singers selection contests using pseudonyms.

In 1936, he won the first prize on Radio Fénix.

Horacio Sanguinetti, Argentine Tango lyricist

Horacio Sanguinetti

Lyricist (March 19, 1914 – December 19, 1957)

Many reasons coincide with considering him as one of the pens that helped to lend prestige to Tango literature, especially during the period deservedly famous, which has remained known in the genre’s history as The Forties.

Horacio Sanguinetti belonged to that qualified and unforgettable generation of musicians, composers, authors and interpreters.

By sensitivity, temper, and generational activity, he easily transcended through an abundant output -rich and notorious-even though with ups and downs; he is regarded and consecrated in a large number by titles that had easily overcome oblivion.

The fact that during that decade, it was impossible to find any outstanding orchestra that had not recorded some of his pieces is undeniable evidence of the level and importance of Tango’s creative labor.

“Derecho viejo” by Osvaldo Pugliese y su Orquesta Típica, 1945.

Eduardo Arolas

Bandoneonist, composer and leader (February 24, 1892 – September 29, 1924)

Between 1913 and 1916, his musical composition and production showed evident improvement due to his musical studies, and the achieved experience of his profession.

He consolidated his fame, taking his orchestra to the level of the most prominent ones. He left the neighborhood cafés, playing on Corrientes Street and at the luxurious places of Palermo neighborhood in the interior of Argentina and Montevideo.

Some of the compositions of this period, among many that have been forgotten, are “Derecho viejo”-played here by Osvaldo Pugliese y su Orquesta Típica in 1945.

Cátulo Castillo, Argentine Tango lyricist and composer, and Perón, Argentine president.

Cátulo Castillo

Poet, lyricist, composer, and director (August 6, 1906 – October 19, 1975)

An astonishing fact is that Cátulo could have been, at the same time, an inspired musician and poet, and a renowned boxer who came to win the title of Argentine featherweight champion.

His political commitment to the exploited inspired his early works, but he would also contribute emblematic works for other issues.

Such is the case of “Caserón de tejas”, a beautiful waltz from 1941, with music by Sebastián Piana, where longing for the neighborhood and childhood merge.

Other of his important works are “Tinta Roja” and “María”.
