After his orchestra imploded with everyone leaving him in early 1940, D’Arienzo had to look not only for a new team of musicians, but also for a new singer. Other than some people may think nowadays, the first singer who joined him was Alberto Reynal, who has a ”tough guy” voice similar to Echagüe, and not Hector Mauré, who joined later. In fact, also the lesser-known Carlos Casares arrived earlier and left us with the currently popular recording ”Rie payaso” and another song called ”Yo también”. Both Reynal (left) and Casares (right) are shown on this picture.
