Celedonio Flores

Celedonio Flores was born on 3 August 1896 ^[7]. He died on 28 July 1947 ^[6].

In 1920 the newspaper Última Hora published his poem Por la pinta, and Gardel and Razzano turned it into the tango Margot ^[1]. The surviving claims from 1923 to 1933 describe him writing tangos with Gardel and Razzano, Pedro Maffia, the Servidio brothers and Francisco Pracánico ^[2][3][4][5].

The dossier classifies this entry as an orchestra. Its claims, however, describe a poem and works written with collaborators, not an orchestra's formation, members or recordings ^{[1][2][3][4][5]}.
