"Entrada prohibida" by Osvaldo Pugliese y su Orquesta Típica, 1947.

Luis Teisseire

Flutist, composer, lyricist, and leader (24 October 1883 - 3 May 1960)

He was born in the city of Buenos Aires, the son of Jean Teisseire, a native of France, and Maria Puzzi, born in Genoa (Italy).

Teisseire, in his youth, had a fighting temper. Music appeased his turbulent adolescence.

Among his compositions, we find unforgettable titles which total over 80 pieces.

"Ninguna" by Ángel D'Agostino y su Orquesta Típica with Ángel Vargas in vocals, 1942.

Ángel Vargas

Singer, lyricist, and composer (22 October 1904 - 7 July 1959)

In 1940 he would commence his fundamental period when entering the orchestra led by the pianist Ángel D'Agostino with whom he would stay until 1946, producing 94 renditions on record which stand as legitimate jewels in the genre.

A singer with an impressive personality, he is the symbol of porteño (from Buenos Aires) tango phrasing in the 40s. 

His phrasing was "reo" and compadrito but at the same time of an infinite good taste. 

Angel Vargas died young and without a very noticeable decline as an interpreter; he was undoubtedly one of the major artists in our tango music. 

Among his recordings stands out “Ninguna”.

"Queja indiana" by Rodolfo Biagi y su Orquesta Típica with Andrés Falgás in vocals, 1939.

Juan Rodríguez

Pianist, composer and leader (19 October 1895 - 4 April 1928)

He began his studies at the conservatory in Buenos Aires. Then, his parents took him to Spain, and at the National Conservatory of Barcelona, he perfected himself under the direction of a famous maestro in piano and harmony.

From the city of Barcelona, he made a trip to Paris, where he was distinguished.

He returned to Argentina in 1914.

In 1927 he obtained one of the first prizes in the National Record Contest at the Palace Theater, on Corrientes Street, with the tango “Queja indiana”, which made it possible for it to be recorded by Carlos Gardel.

"Vieja amiga" by Pedro Laurenz y su Orquesta Típica with Juan Carlos Casas in vocals, 1938.

Pedro Laurenz

Bandoneon player, director, and composer (10 October 1902 - 7 July 1972)

Born in the rapidly growing Buenos Aires at the beginning of the century, he spent his childhood in the Villa Crespo neighborhood where co-existed, in colorful social contrast, native compadritos and malevos (tough people) and Spanish, Italian, Jewish, Arab and Turkish immigrants.

He was a ghostly figure of Tango as a bandoneon player and orchestra leader.

As a composer —one of the greatest in Tango history— he produced outstanding songs such as "Vieja amiga."

A significant step in his career was his participation, in 1925, in the sextet of the violinist Julio De Caro who introduced revolutionary changes in the tango style. His production with the Victor company until 1943 included 15 -78 RPM records, and then a similar number with Odeon between 1943 and 1947.

"Paciencia" by Juan D'Arienzo y su Orquesta Típica with Enrique Carbel in vocals, 1937.

Francisco Gorrindo

Lyricist (October 5, 1908 - January 2, 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 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.
