To speak about tango is to speak about Carlos Gardel. His figure stands at the center of the cultural history of Argentina e Uruguay as an artistic symbol who transformed a popular genre born in the neighborhoods of the Río de la Plata into a musical expression recognized throughout the world.

Gardel was not only an extraordinary singer: he was the artist who modernized tango, brought it to cinema, turned it into an international phenomenon, and created a style of interpretation that still influences musicians and singers today.
