Aníbal Troilo

Aníbal Troilo (born July 11, 1914 in Balvanera (Buenos Aires), † May 18, 1975 in Buenos Aires ; actually Aníbal Carmelo Troilo Bagnolo ), called "Pichuco", was an Argentine musician ( bandoneonist ), arranger , bandleader and composer of the Tango .

Life

Aníbal Troilo learned to play the bandoneon at the age of eight and worked as a professional musician in a silent film cinema in Buenos Aires as early as 1925.

Aníbal Troilo first played in a sextet with the violinist Alfredo Gobbi . From 1929 he was initially a member of the Sexteto Vardaro-Pugliese and in the same year went to the Orquesta Típica of the singer Julio Sosa . In addition, he also played in various other tango formations. At times Aníbal Troilo accompanied the singer Carlos Gardel . During this time he developed his unmistakable style, which was subsequently referred to as the Troilo sound ( Sonido Troilo ).

In 1937 Aníbal Troilo founded his own Orquesta Típica, which included a number of renowned tango musicians, such as the guitarist Roberto Grela and the bandoneonist Astor Piazzolla from 1939–1944 , and which was extremely popular until the late 1950s. In 1952 Aníbal Troilo formed the instrumental quartet Cuarteto de Aníbal Troilo . He worked continuously with the best musicians, arrangers and singers of the tango. He required his musicians to make their instrument 'sing' like himself, in the manner of Carlos Gardel. He also made it a point to "say as much as possible in as few notes as possible."

The city of Buenos Aires erected a memorial statue in honor of Aníbal Troilo, who had a decisive influence on tango as a band leader and composer.
