Minotto Di Cicco
Minotto Di Cicco was a bandoneonist and bandleader whose career ran from the cafés of Montevideo to the orchestra of Francisco Canaro, where he became first bandoneon for years [1]. Between 1923 and 1926 he recorded ten sides under his own name for Odeon, including "A media luz" [1].
Minotto Di Cicco was born on 11 October 1898 [2]. He turned professional in 1913, playing a semitone accordion with Carlos Warren and Ataliva Galup at the Café Petit Salón in Montevideo [1].
By 1915 he had moved to the bandoneon and formed a trio with Alberto Alonso and Luciano Aturaola at the Bar Trianón [1]. In 1917, as the Alonso-Minotto orchestra, the group recorded eighteen sides for Victor in Buenos Aires, among them "La cumparsita" [1].
His later career was closely tied to Francisco Canaro, whose orchestra he first joined for the Rosario carnival of 1918 and rejoined in 1923, becoming its first bandoneon for years [1]. He died on 9 September 1979 [1].
Early career in Montevideo
Di Cicco began his professional career in 1913 on a semitone accordion, performing with Carlos Warren and Ataliva Galup at the Café Petit Salón in Montevideo [1].
In 1915, now playing the bandoneon, he formed a trio with Alberto Alonso and Luciano Aturaola that performed at the Bar Trianón [1].
History
In 1917 the ensemble, billed as the Alonso-Minotto orchestra, travelled to Buenos Aires to record for Victor [1].
In 1918 Di Cicco joined the Firpo-Canaro orchestra for the Rosario carnival, taking the place of Osvaldo Fresedo [1].
In 1921 he returned to Montevideo and formed his own group, which included his brothers and Francisco De Caro, and later Julio De Caro [1].
In 1923 he rejoined Francisco Canaro, replacing Anselmo Aieta and pairing with Juan Canaro on bandoneon [1]. He went on to serve as the orchestra's first bandoneon for years and also played in the Quinteto Pirincho [1].
