Every time I see a different picture of a very young Roberto Rufino (mostly from 1940), I find it even more absurd how someone who doesn’t look much older than 12 could sing so emphatically about typical tango themes like remorseful memories of love long gone. Some of the musicians on these pictures don’t look too mature either, like the violinist on Rufino’s left side, whom I first mistook for Alberto Podestá. Di Sarli is the one with the sunglas… yes, you figured that out yourself.

Tango Archive
The idea of this website is to give access to (still undiscovered) photos of tango orchestras and singers found in old archive material.
Photographic material of tango music celebrities on the internet is still very scarce and we are working hard to change that.
We collaborate with Tango Time Machine at Tangodecoder.com to make more original material accessible.
Thank you for everything, Michael
