Virgilio Expósito

**Virgilio Expósito** was an iconic Argentine composer, pianist, and key figure in the Golden Age of tango. Born in 1924, he teamed up with his brother, lyricist Homero Expósito, to create some of tango’s most enduring classics like *"Naranjo en flor"* and *"Chau, no va más"*. Their partnership blended Virgilio’s lush, melodic sensibilities with Homero’s poetic lyrics, shaping the emotional core of mid-20th-century tango. Beyond his timeless compositions, Virgilio also arranged and performed music that celebrated Argentine folk traditions, bridging tango with broader cultural roots. Though he passed away in 1997, his legacy lives on through recordings like *"Tangos Argentinos"* and *"Una Leyenda del Tango"*, which keep his sophisticated, soul-stirring sound alive for new generations. A true architect of Argentine music!
