Floreal Ruiz remains one of tango's most evocative voices, forever linked to Argentina's golden age of the genre. Active primarily in the 1940s-50s, the Buenos Aires-born singer became famous for his collaborations with legendary bandoneonist Aníbal Troilo, whose orchestra he joined in 1944. Their partnership produced enduring classics like "Tarde gris" – a masterclass in melancholic phrasing that still gives listeners goosebumps. Ruiz's rich baritone voice carried both the drama of milongas and the wistfulness of valses, making him a versatile interpreter of tango's emotional spectrum. Though his career was relatively brief, reissues like *Los Inmortales del Tango* and remastered collections keep his legacy alive, introducing new generations to his recordings' crackling intensity and timeless elegance.
