About Aníbal Troilo

Known as Pichuco, Troilo was the greatest bandoneon player of the Golden Age and one of tango's most important orchestra leaders. His ensemble defined the sound of 1940s Buenos Aires tango, and his collaborations with poets like Homero Manzi produced some of the genre's most enduring songs.
