Francisco Canaro, one of the most famous and in any case most financially succesful orchestra leaders, was only one out of several brothers who were tango musicians themselves too: Rafael, Mario and Juan. Juan is definitely an example of the more ‘hidden’ tango musicians eclipsed by oblivion because of their lack of substantial tango dance recordings. In any case, and like his brothers, Juan was a very active musician touring both Europe and Latin America with his orchestra.

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
