Early years and first orchestras
The narration places Rivero's birth near Puente Alsina in 1911 and says that he grew up in a musical family. It follows the family to a country railway station where his father worked and then to Saavedra, where Rivero performed with his brother Aníbal. An interviewee calls him a national singer who sang folk songs as readily as tango. The film says that a prank phone call led to his hiring in José De Caro's orchestra. It says that he then moved to Julio De Caro's orchestra and later to Humberto Canaro's.

Salgán and Troilo
According to the film, Rivero stopped singing for a time and worked as a guitarist accompanying Nelly Omar. He returned in 1944 when Horacio Salgán called him. In the film, the film recounts that the record company objected to Rivero's deep voice and that Salgán refused to record without him. The narration says that Rivero joined Aníbal Troilo's orchestra in 1947. An interviewee says that Rivero studied the words of each tango closely. The film shows Troilo's farewell speech when Rivero left the orchestra in 1949.
