Alberto Caracciolo

Alberto Caracciolo

"Alberto Pascual Caracciolo" (March 23, 1918 - 1994), was an Argentine tango musician, a musical arranger, orchestra director, composer and Bandoneón player.

Born in Palermo, Buenos Aires, he began his musical studies at the age of 8, and at 16 he started playing Bandoneón in Antonio Arcieri´s orchestra.

He was respected and well-known by his colleagues rather than by the public in general for Caracciolo always chose to hold a low profile. He was heard extensively on radio and appeared occasionally on TV but his music was not known worldwide.

He played Bandoneon for several famous orchestras, including those of Joaquín Do Reyes, Angel Dágostino, Manuel Buzón, Victor Braña and Jorge Caldara.

Although he was a tango innovator following a style of his own, he played traditional tango in the "De Ayer... y de Siempre" L.P., produced by "Discomundo", for which he created "Quinteto Añoranzas", with a part for flute, which was an instrument greatly valued in the old traditional groups (according to "Roberto Selles", tango journalist and historian).

He also played jazz although on a minor scale. He made musical arrangements for international publishers, and he was a Music Counsellor for "Odeón" (Argentina), in the late 60's and early 70's.

Caracciolo was the author of "Tema de Tango en Re Menor", "Preludio", "Etéreo", "Chiqui" (dedicated to his wife), "Con Rumbo al Cielo" (dedicated to his father), "Réquiem para un Gomía", (dedicated to Carlos Gardel), and many others which have lyrics by famous tango poets.
