Carlos Galan

Carlos Galan is listed as a singer associated with the orchestra of Francisco Canaro ^[1]. All of his documented activity falls between September and November 1934 ^[1][2]. The surviving evidence consists of calendar dates of his work with Canaro and catalogue entries for individual recordings ^[1][2]. Neither source gives biographical details.

The two sources list overlapping but not identical sets of dates ^[1][2]. Both include 19 September, 21 September and 23 November 1934 ^[1][2]. Only the calendar lists 16 November 1934 ^[1], and only the recording catalogue lists 30 November 1934 ^[2].

Career with Francisco Canaro

A calendar of Argentine tango dates for 1934 records Carlos Galan as having sung with the orchestra of Francisco Canaro ^[1]. It lists the following dates for this collaboration ^[1]:

- 19 September 1934, which appears twice in the calendar ^[1] - 21 September 1934 ^[1] - 16 November 1934 ^[1] - 23 November 1934 ^[1]

The calendar does not describe what happened on these dates or give the titles of the pieces involved ^[1].

Recordings

A public recording catalogue credits Carlos Galan as the vocalist on five recordings, each catalogued under the title "Odeon" ^[2]. They carry the following dates ^[2]:

- 19 September 1934 (one recording) ^[2] - 21 September 1934 (two recordings) ^[2] - 23 November 1934 (one recording) ^[2] - 30 November 1934 (one recording) ^[2]

The catalogue entries, as given in the dossier, do not name the compositions, the accompanying orchestra or any matrix numbers ^[2]. The recording dates of 19 and 21 September and 23 November 1934 match dates on which the calendar records Galan singing with Francisco Canaro ^[1][2]. The sources differ on the remaining dates ^[1][2]. The calendar's entry for 16 November 1934 has no matching catalogue recording, and the catalogue's recording of 30 November 1934 has no matching calendar entry ^[1][2].
