About Alfredo de Angelis
Artist Biography
Alfredo de Angelis was an Argentinian pianist, composer, and bandleader, world-famous for recordings and performances by his orchestra during the Argentine tango's defining era, from the 1930s through the 1960s. While his band-leading peers alternated their tangos with extravagantly composed modern music, de Angelis remained close to the danceable roots of tango; this stubborn adherence to traditional forms made him a legend. He composed or arranged harmoniously synchronized tangos through the efficient use of rhythm, careful and abiding respect for melody, and an insistence on showcasing singers. Among his hundreds of recordings are bona fide tango classics including "Al Pie de la Santa Cruz," "La Brisa," "Ya Estamos Iguales" (featuring Carlos Dante), "Marioneta" (featuring Floreal Ruiz), and "De Igual a Igual" (featuring Julio Martel).
