Person

Francisco Canaro

Francisco Canaro (26 November 1888 – 14 December 1964) was a violinist, orchestra leader and composer. [1][2][16] He led the orchestra that bore his name, and also the Quinteto Don Pancho and the Quinteto Pirincho. [5][10][13][14][16]

Francisco Canaro was born on 26 November 1888. [1][2] He died on 14 December 1964 in Argentina. [1] He played the violin. [1]

Canaro led the orchestra known as the Francisco Canaro orchestra. [16] Sources record it under his leadership at dates from 1927 to 1940. [3][13] He also led two smaller ensembles, the Quinteto Don Pancho and the Quinteto Pirincho. [10][14] Music credits attribute a number of tango compositions to him. [16]

Career

Canaro is credited as the leader of the Francisco Canaro orchestra. [16] Sources record the orchestra under his direction in 1927 [3], 1928 [4], 1929 [5] and 1930 [6]. Later dated entries record his leadership on 14 July 1932 [7], in 1935 [9], on 14 July 1938 [11], in 1939 [12] and in 1940 [13].
