Carlos Gardel (1890-1935)

Carlos Gardel was a French-born Argentine singer, songwriter, composer and actor, and the most prominent figure in the history of tango. He was one of the most influential interpreters of world popular music in the first half of the 20th century.

Together with lyricist and long-time collaborator Alfredo Le Pera, Gardel wrote several classic tangos.

Museo Casa Carlos Gardel

Gardel bought the house in 1927 for his mother, Berta. It's a typical house from the first half of the twentieth century, located in the Balvanera neighbourhood. Gardel lived in the house with his mother until 1933, when he died in a plane crash while travelling to perform in Medellín, Colombia. There is much debate about whether Carlos Gardel was born in Uruguay in 1887 or in Toulouse, France, in 1890, but what is known is that he came to Buenos Aires with his mother as a boy and grew up in the same neighbourhood where the museum is now located.
