ased in the province of Córdoba, there he composed his early tangos that were published as from 1904 by Luis Mandrés. His are the tangos: “Córdoba y San Martín”, “
Chinchín
”, “
El rengo
”, “
La carreta [b]
”, “
La mascota [b]
”, “
Los viejos verdes
” and “
Pelele [b]
” (with the same title as the one
Pedro Maffia
composed later). Furthermore, the popular waltz “
Francia
” and less known “
Flirteuse
”.
On June 20, 1906 the newspaper
Los principios
, de Córdoba, commented the publication of his tango “La carreta” in which it said: «The front cover of the music copy is more original than its title because on it a wagon is not depicted but a streetcar pulled by skinny horses». Its title alluded to the old trams pulled by horses.
He died in 1948.
