Musician, pianist, leader and composer (January 27, 1905 - January 24, 1973) Full Name: Ricardo Tanturi Nickname: El caballero del tango Though he never stood out for his musical skills, Tanturi led for several decades a renowned orchestra which owed its success basically to the strong appeal of some of its singers.

His brother Antonio Tanturi, pianist and co-director of the Orquesta Típica Tanturi-Petrone, convinced him to give up the violin and take piano lessons with him.

At the university he organized student bands. There he met the actor Juan
