"Cascabelito" by Carlos Di Sarli y su Orquesta Típica with Roberto Rufino in vocals, 1941.

José Bohr

Singer, composer, lyricist, actor, and leader (3 September 1901 - 29 May 1994)

He began to carry out his career as a singer on Radio Cultura, accompanying himself on the piano.

One day he was in his job —Bohr will remember in his memoirs— he received the following phone call:

«—Che, tell me. You're the kid of the radio. Aren't you? Don't you know who you're talking to? You're speaking with the most famous voice in Argentina. You're talking to Carlitos Gardel. They have told me that you wrote an amazing tango which has much soul and that it's very romantic, something that has to do with the carnival.»

«—“Cascabelito”?» Bohr dared to say timidly.

In dancing Tango we show off our capacity to hug, making it a work of art.

Our hug is visible as far as our footwork and beyond.

This particular way of embracing is what distinguishes Argentine Tango from other partner dances.


It is precisely this characteristic that makes private lessons an essential part of your learning path.

Embracing your partner and dancing Argentine Tango is to have a profound and creative conversation, full of joy and awakenings.


The process of learning to dance Argentine Tango requires training yourself in the art of such conversation.

"Sobre el pucho" by Juan D'Arienzo y su Orquesta Típica with Héctor Mauré in vocals, 1941.

José González Castillo

Poet and lyricist (25 January 1885 - 22 October 1937)

Lyrics for tango were born around 1914, based on those ones conceived by Pascual Contursi that year and the following years (“De vuelta al bulín”, “Ivette”, “Flor de fango”, “Mi noche triste (Lita)”), and they were growing strong very slowly.

So much so that in Carlos Gardel's repertoire tangos were, until the next decade, a rare bird. There was not even a notion of how to sing a tango, a standard that Gardel was gradually establishing after 1922.

That was, precisely, the year José González Castillo truly disembarked in the genre with the lyrics of “Sobre el pucho”, after Sebastián Piana's music, which was introduced at the talent contest organized by Tango cigarettes.

José Gobello (Crónica general del tango, Editorial Fraterna) stated about this work that, with it «some novelties broke into tango that the tango literary work of Homero Manzi would later turn into true constants. By the way, Pompeya («Un callejón en Pompeya/y un farolito plateando el fango...»); later, the description of the neighborhood and, soon, the enumeration as a descriptive procedure».

But in those lyrics there is something else, metaphor, that springs up in the memory that the malevo devotes to his lost love «...tu inconstancia loca/me arrebató de tu boca/como pucho que se tira/ cuando ya/ni sabor ni aroma da». It is clear that González Castillo was a forerunner, and also that other later lyricists were who deepened those trends.

Enrique Campos

Singer(10 March 1913 - 13 March 1970)

His name is written among the most representative Tango artists.

He had natural abilities which helped to make easy a difficult career at the time of the great singers.

He had a look, a personality, and a distinct voice that he evidenced with his phrased and melodious expression.

Enrique Campos debuted on Radio El Mundo as Tanturi's orchestra singer and immediately he began to record discs.

One of the first numbers, cut on August 4, 1943, was the tango by Luis Porcell and Leopoldo Díaz Vélez, “Muchachos comienza la ronda”. Continue reading at www.todotango.com...
