Francisco Fiorentino

Francisco Fiorentino was a legendary Argentine tango singer and bandoneonist whose warm, raspy voice became a defining sound of the Golden Age of tango in the 1940s. Born in Buenos Aires in 1905, he started as a bandoneón player but skyrocketed to fame as the vocalist for Aníbal Troilo’s iconic orchestra, delivering timeless classics like *Tinta Verde* and *Los Mareados*. His partnership with Troilo cemented his status as a tango great, blending poetic melancholy with streetwise charm. After leaving Troilo’s ensemble, Fiorentino formed his own group and collaborated with a young Astor Piazzolla, pushing tango into bold new territories. Known affectionately as *Fiore*, his raw emotional delivery and knack for storytelling made him a beloved figure until his untimely death in 1955. Releases like *Fiorentino y Piazzolla (Remastered)* and *Tabaco* capture his gritty yet romantic essence, keeping his legacy alive for modern tango lovers.
