Horacio Salgan

Today I present an exceptional interview of which I am very proud: In 1999 I had the great joy of being able to chat with one of my favorite composers at a tango festival in Zurich: col gran Horacio Salgan. I had already met him personally a few years ago in Buenos Aires, when he had invited us to his house. They are unforgettable memories because this great tango master had played in his living room for us his favorite tangos.

In Zurich Horacio Salgan told me that in his youth he had also founded a jazz orchestra and studied music theory, which surprised everyone and they called him “El loco”. He told me about his idols Roberto Firpo and Julio De Caro. And how he met guitarist Ubaldo de Lio, with whom he played for almost 50 years. Read for yourselves what this great composer and pianist, Maestro Horacio Salgan, told me
