Alberto Caracciolo
Edit ProfileCareer
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 heard extensively on radio and appeared occasionally on television, but his music was not known well known outside Argentina and Uruguay. He played the bandoneón 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, Caracciolo played traditional tango in the LP record, De Ayer.. y de Siempre.
This album was 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 consultant for Odeon Records (Argentina), in the late 60"s and early 70"son
