“María” by Anibal Troilo y su Orquesta Típica with Alberto Marino in vocals, 1945 (English translation).

Anibal Troilo and Cátulo Castillo. Argentine Tango music and poetry.

Music: Aníbal Troilo. Lyrics: Cátulo Castillo.

Maybe your name is just Maria..!

I don’t know if you were the echo of an old song,
but long ago, you were deeply mine
over a sad landscape, passed out with love…

Autumn, drenched in agony,
brought you your poor hat and the brown overcoat…
You were like the street of melancholy,
raining… raining on my heart ..!

Maria..!
In the shadows of my room,
it is your step that returns…

Maria..!
And it’s your voice, small and sad,
that of the day you said:
“There is nothing between the two of us anymore…”

Maria..!
The most mine ..! The Distant ..!
If she comes back another morning
through the streets of farewell..!

Your eyes were ports that kept away,
its horizon of dreams and a flower silence…
But your good hands, they returned present,
to cure my fever, faded with love…

An Autumn you left..! Your name was Maria, and I never knew anything about your unhappy course…
If you were like the landscape of Melancholy,
that it was raining… it was raining, on the gray street…

“Atenti pebeta” by Alfredo De Angelis y su Orquesta Típica with Julio Martel in vocals, 1949.

“Atenti pebeta” by Alfredo De Angelis y su Orquesta Típica with Julio Martel in vocals, 1949.

Ciriaco Ortiz, Argentine Tango musician, leader and composer.

Ciriaco Ortiz

Bandoneonist, director and composer (5 August 1905 – 9 July 1970)

It would be absolutely impossible to transcribe in a music staff what he plays in his instrument.

It is a style with reminiscences of the guitar plucking of the milonguero criollo, which even though it has had no followers it may have much influenced Aníbal Troilo.

His most important composition was, no doubt, “Atenti pebeta” with lyrics by Celedonio Flores.

Singer
(March 10, 1913 – March 13, 1970)

His name is written among the most representative Tango artists.

He had natural abilities that helped him make an outstanding career at the time of the great singers.

He had a look, a personality, and a distinct voice, evidenced by his phrased and musical expression.

Enrique Campos debuted on Radio El Mundo as Tanturi’s orchestra singer and immediately began recording discs.

Agustín Bardi

Pianist, composer, arranger and leader (9 August 1906 – 6 March 1974)

So much was his sense of aesthetic and professional responsibility that at forty he decided to study musical theory in more depth to put his future compositions at the height of the great Tango instrumentalists of the “De Caro’s” school.

Agustín Bardi has very deservedly received the title of “composer of musicians.”
