Francisco Canaro
Francisco Canaro – November 26th, 1888 - December 14th, 1964
was a Uruguayan violinist, composer, and orchestra director, and one of the most representative tango musicians of the Guardia Vieja (Old Guard). He played a significant role in making tango internationally known through his numerous trips abroad. As a composer, he had a vast production, and his advocacy for authorial rights led to the creation of the Argentine Society of Composers and Songwriters (SADAIC). Despite his humble beginnings, Canaro's career was remarkably successful, and he became known for his rich lifestyle. His legacy remains an essential contribution to the history of tango. Some of his most famous compositions include "La tablada," "Nobleza de arrabal," "Adiós, pampa mía," and "El pollito." Canaro's determination and magnetism earned him the nickname "the boss" among his contemporaries.
