Alberto Castillo

about

Alberto Castillo (December 7, 1914 - July 23, 2002) True name: Alberto Salvador De Lucca The very peculiar style of Alberto Castillo maybe has something to do with the mocking (humorous) grace of outskirts origin of Rosita Quiroga, Sofía Bozán or Tita Merello. But in no way these are influences; neither have they similarity among them nor Castillo resembles them. Simply, we could group them –and add them to the subsequent Elba Berón- because they are united by a common air, the same unpolished cadence. However, when Castillo faces deep themes, the tenderness he conveys is striking. Definitively, he is a "voice that does not sound like any other's voice", as the unforgettable Julián Centeya wisely said. Nor his style is like anyone's; when he himself said that his peculiar phrasing was what the dancers needed -«people moved according to the nuances of my voice»-, He said to himself: «Here's the thing!» (something that was needed, that is eagerly awaited), and he never deviated from that way of singing, of that natural style of tango, to which a detail of great importance must be added: his perfect intonation. Alberto Salvador De Lucca –this is his true name- was born on December 7, 1914 in the neighborhood of Floresta, in the western area of the city of Buenos Aires. He was the fifth child of a couple of Italian immigrants: Salvador De Lucca and Lucía Di Paola. Since early childhood he showed a natural inclination towards music; he had violin lessons and sang in any place
