Armando Pontier

Armando Pontier was a tango orchestra leader whose career is recorded in the available sources from the 1945 debut of the Francini-Pontier orchestra at the Tango Bar on Corrientes to his death in Belgrano on 25 December 1983 [1][3]. He debuted his own orchestra in 1955 with the singers Julio Sosa and Roberto Florio [1].

Armando Pontier's name is attached to two ensembles in the available sources: the Francini-Pontier orchestra, which debuted at the opening of the Tango Bar on Corrientes on 1 September 1945, and his own orchestra, which debuted on 1 September 1955 [1]. One source gives his date of birth as 29 August 1917 [4].

His own orchestra began with the singers Julio Sosa and Roberto Florio [1]. Over the following years the vocal line-up changed several times: Oscar Ferrari, Héctor Darío, Roberto Rufino, Alberto Podestá and Néstor Real all appear as his singers [2][3]. In the late 1950s the orchestra headlined the carnival dances at the Centro Asturiano and was resident on Radio Belgrano [3].

In the 1960s and 1970s Pontier played in Miguel Caló's Orquesta de las Estrellas, appeared in the film La diosa impura, re-formed his orchestra, and made tours of Japan [1][3]. He died at his flat in Belgrano on 25 December 1983 and was buried at Chacarita [3].

History

### The Francini-Pontier orchestra (1945)

The Francini-Pontier orchestra debuted at the opening of the Tango Bar on Corrientes on 1 September 1945 [1]. The available sources say nothing further about this ensemble, such as its personnel, its singers or how long it lasted [1].

### His own orchestra (1955–1961)

Pontier debuted his own orchestra on 1 September 1955, with Julio Sosa and Roberto Florio as singers [1]. In 1956 Oscar Ferrari replaced Roberto Florio [2]. In the late 1950s the orchestra headlined the carnival dances at the Centro Asturiano, with Sosa and Ferrari as singers, while it was also resident on Radio Belgrano [3]. Around 1960 Héctor Darío took over from Julio Sosa, and in 1961 Roberto Rufino followed Ferrari [3].

### Orquesta de las Estrellas and film (1963–1964)

In 1963 Pontier played in Miguel Caló's Orquesta de las Estrellas, alongside Francini, Domingo Federico, Podestá and Raúl Berón [3]. In 1964 he appeared in the film La diosa impura, directed by Armando Bo [1].

### Re-formation and tours of Japan (1966–1973)

In 1966 Pontier re-formed his orchestra with the singers Alberto Podestá and Héctor Darío [3]. That year he also toured Japan with Darío and Néstor Real [3]. In 1973 he reunited with Francini and the singer Alba Solís for another tour of Japan [3].

### Death

Pontier died at his flat in Belgrano on 25 December 1983 and was buried at Chacarita [3].

Singers

The sources name the following singers with Pontier's orchestra or tours, in order of first mention [1][2][3]:

- Julio Sosa: with the orchestra at its 1955 debut and at the late-1950s carnival dances at the Centro Asturiano; replaced by Héctor Darío around 1960 [1][3]. - Roberto Florio: with the orchestra at its 1955 debut; replaced by Oscar Ferrari in 1956 [1][2]. - Oscar Ferrari: joined in 1956; followed by Roberto Rufino in 1961 [2][3]. - Héctor Darío: took over from Sosa around 1960; with the re-formed orchestra in 1966 and on that year's tour of Japan [3]. - Roberto Rufino: followed Ferrari in 1961 [3]. - Alberto Podestá: with the re-formed orchestra in 1966 [3]. - Néstor Real: on the 1966 tour of Japan [3]. - Alba Solís: on the 1973 tour of Japan with Pontier and Francini [3].

Raúl Berón and Podestá are also named as fellow members of Miguel Caló's Orquesta de las Estrellas in 1963, not as singers of Pontier's own orchestra [3].

Venues and media

The sources link Pontier to these venues and media [1][3]:

- Tango Bar on Corrientes: the Francini-Pontier orchestra debuted at its opening in 1945 [1]. - Centro Asturiano: the orchestra headlined carnival dances there in the late 1950s [3]. - Radio Belgrano: the orchestra was resident there in the late 1950s [3]. - La diosa impura: a film directed by Armando Bo in which Pontier appeared in 1964 [1].
