Osvaldo Ruggiero

Osvaldo Ruggiero was a tango musician and composer who joined Osvaldo Pugliese's orchestra in 1939 and remained associated with it until 1968 [1][5]. That year he co-founded the Sexteto Tango with Pugliese colleagues [4]. He died in Buenos Aires on 31 May 1994 [3].

Osvaldo Ruggiero was born on 22 September 1922, according to one source [8]. He is described as having joined Osvaldo Pugliese's orchestra at the age of seventeen in 1939 [1]. Sources do not fully agree on his age at the time, as noted below [1][8]. A 1939 line-up of the Orquesta Típica Osvaldo Pugliese lists him among the bandoneons, alongside Enrique Alessio and Luis Bonnat [6]. One source gives his membership in the orchestra as running from 1939 to 1968 [5].

In October 1968 Ruggiero co-founded the Sexteto Tango with colleagues from the Pugliese orchestra, and the group debuted at Caño 14 [4]. With the sextet he toured the Americas, played the Teatro Colón, and appeared in Paris during a European tour [3][4]. He was also a composer. Credits attribute to him the tangos "Tiempo", "Para dos", "Yunta de oro", "A mis compañeros" and "Malambeao" [9], and Pugliese's orchestra recorded several of his works [3]. He died in Buenos Aires on 31 May 1994 and was buried in Chacarita [3].

Early life

One source gives Ruggiero's date of birth as 22 September 1922 [8]. The dossier contains no information on his birthplace, family or musical training [8].

With Osvaldo Pugliese (1939–1968)

Ruggiero is described as joining Osvaldo Pugliese's orchestra at seventeen in 1939 [1]. In his own account, the group first worked at El Germinal, and the definitive line-up debuted at the Café El Nacional in August 1939 [1]. A separate record gives August 1939 as the month he joined the orchestra [1]. If the 22 September 1922 birth date is correct, he would have been sixteen in August 1939, so the sources are not fully consistent on his age when he joined [1][8].

A 1939 personnel listing of the Orquesta Típica Osvaldo Pugliese includes the following members [6]:

- Bandoneons: Enrique Alessio, Osvaldo Ruggiero, Luis Bonnat [6] - Violins: Enrique Camerano, Julio Carrasco, Jaime Tursky [6] - Double bass: Aniceto Rossi [6] - Singers: Amadeo Mandarino and Roberto Beltrán [6]

A biographical sketch of the singer Amadeo Mandarino also names him among the orchestra's members, using the spelling "Ruggero" [7].

Sources record his time in the orchestra differently. One gives a span from 1939 to 1968 [5]. Another places him in the orchestra in 1939 [6][7] and also records him there in a 1945–1947 period [6]. These records do not necessarily conflict, but they cover different spans [5][6].

Pugliese's orchestra recorded Ruggiero's composition "Catuzo" in 1949 and his "Para dos" in 1952 [3].

Sexteto Tango

In October 1968 Ruggiero co-founded the Sexteto Tango with fellow members of the Pugliese orchestra, and the new group debuted at Caño 14 [4]. In 1970 the sextet made a long tour of the Americas that ended in Los Angeles [4].

In 1974 Ruggiero played the Teatro Colón with the sextet, on a bill that also included Troilo and Salgán [3]. In 1987, during a European tour, he performed for two months at Trottoirs de Buenos Aires in Paris [4].

Compositions

Ruggiero composed the tango "Tiempo" in 1946 [2]. Music credits attribute the following works to him [9]:

- "Tiempo" [9] - "Para dos" [9] - "Yunta de oro" [9] - "A mis compañeros" [9] - "Malambeao" [9]

His "Catuzo" was recorded by Pugliese's orchestra in 1949, and "Para dos" in 1952 [3].

Death

Ruggiero died in Buenos Aires on 31 May 1994 and was buried in Chacarita [3].
