Roberto Zerrillo

Roberto Zerrillo led tango orchestras in Buenos Aires and Montevideo, including a partnership with Donato in the Donato-Zerrillo orchestra in the late 1920s [1][2]. He recorded for RCA Victor in 1938 and made his last disc, for Odeon, in 1943 [1][3]. He died in 1955 after an incurable illness [1].

Roberto Zerrillo was born on 20 July 1902, according to one source [4]. His documented career began in 1921, when he joined Carlos Warren's orchestra at the Moulin Rouge and played beside Eduardo Arolas before moving to Buenos Aires [1].

In the late 1920s he was associated with Donato in the Donato-Zerrillo orchestra, which opened at the Avenida in Montevideo in 1927 [2] and debuted at the Select Lavalle cinema in Buenos Aires in 1928 [1]. After leaving that partnership in 1930, he travelled to Chile and then toured Spain and Portugal with Azucena Maizani's company [1].

From 1935 he led his own orchestra at Radio Belgrano [1]. His recordings included El taita for RCA Victor in 1938 [3], and his last disc was made for Odeon in 1943 [1]. In 1944 he formed a 26-piece orchestra in Montevideo [1], and he died in 1955 after an incurable illness [1].
