Song

Pirincho

"Pirincho" is a tango milonga with music by José Luis Padula and lyrics by Nolo López [1]. Its earliest known recording is by Francisco Canaro, dated 7 March 1933 [1].

"Pirincho" is a composition in the tango milonga genre [1]. The music is credited to José Luis Padula and the lyrics to Nolo López [1].

A work listing records 2 performances and 7 tracks of the piece [1]. The two dated performances in that listing are a recording by Francisco Canaro on 7 March 1933 and one by the Orquesta Típica Corrientes in 1980 [1].

The available source gives no composition or premiere year for the work [1]. The 1933 date is therefore treated here only as the earliest known recording, not as the date the piece was written or first performed [1].
