Francisco Lomuto, affectionately known as "Pancho," was an influential figure in the Golden Age of Argentine tango. As a pianist, composer, and bandleader, Lomuto was born on November 24, 1893, in Buenos Aires, Argentina, and became one of the prominent music personalities in the early to mid-20th century. His musical journey began at a young age, and by his twenties, he had already made significant contributions to the tango genre.

Leading his own orchestra, Orquesta Típica Francisco Lomuto, he helped to popularize the tango across Argentina and beyond. Throughout his career, Lomuto composed a vast number of tangos, milongas, and fox-trots, some of which became classics within the genre. His orchestra was known for its classic and danceable style, making it a favorite among both dancers and listeners. Lomuto's impact on the tango scene was profound, as he recorded hundreds of records, primarily with the Odeon label. His most notable compositions include "Amor y Celos," "La puñalada," and "Tinta Verde." Francisco Lomuto left a lasting legacy following his death on December 23, 1950, influencing countless musicians and continuing to enchant tango enthusiasts around the world through his recordings.
