e began to study music when he was a child and at age twenty he joined the Castro tango orchestra. In 1925 Francisco Canaro had the intention of including him as member of his orchestra for his travel to Paris but he walked out at the last minute.
With the Castro outfit he played at cheap cafes, movie theaters and on the early radio stations.

By 1922 he began to compose and his first piece was the tango “¡Chau, Cirela!” dedicated to a friend musician with that family name who played bandoneon very well by ear. (This guy Cirela worked by painting iron crosses which he used to sell in the vicinity of the Chacarita cemetery).

After “¡Chau, Cirela!” he released “Coquette”, fox-trot; “El paria [b]”, tango; “Rayos de luna” and “Heliotropo”, fox-trots; “Farolitos de colores”, tango; “Serrana linda”, zamba; “Tuyo”, a tango which was recorded by Carlos Gardel and Francisco Canaro, and many other numbers which were unpublished.

He never met the unforgettable singer and, referring to the recording of that tango by Gardel, on one occasion he summed it up as follows:

«A great friend of mine, —said Angeletti in the late 1965— doctor Amadeo Pedro Carelli, in his youth was friend of Carlos Gardel’s, Francisco Canaro’s, Juan Caruso’s, José Razzano’s and many others of the show business milieu; he had a great devotion for art so he was fond of musicians, poets, playwrights, etc., and was in touch with them the spare time the practice of his profession allowed him. His close friendship with Gardel made that the latter recorded “Tuyo” in consideration for his friend.»

Angeletti was born in Macerata (Italy) on March 18, 1903 and died in Buenos Aires on August 6, 1977.
