Training and orchestras
Salgán says he studied classical piano and that playing the instrument well was always his aim. The narration names early work with Elvino Vardaro, Roberto Firpo and Carlos García. Salgán recalls that his first arrangement, Los indios, was written for Miguel Caló's orchestra. The film says he formed his first orchestra in 1944, with Edmundo Rivero as a singer, and another in 1950 with Roberto Goyeneche and Leopoldo Federico. One musician says Salgán's syncopated writing was hard to play at first. Salgán explains that A fuego lento grew from a passage about slander in Rossini's The Barber of Seville.

Duo, Quinteto Real and later work
The film says Salgán met the guitarist Ubaldo De Lío at the Jamaica club in the late 1950s. It describes their duo as the first tango group to use an electric guitar. It dates the Quinteto Real to 1960, names Pedro Laurenz and Enrique Mario Francini among its members and reports four tours of Japan between 1964 and 1969. Later segments cover the Oratorio Carlos Gardel, written with the poet Horacio Ferrer, and new line-ups of the quintet in 1987 and 1990. The episode ends with Salgán saying that each generation may use its own language, as long as music announced as tango sounds like tango.
