He belonged to the “golden times” of different composers and Tango musicians in Argentina!! He has to be one of the last that still were remembered, and I feel – as an Argentenean – very proud of your hommage to Leopoldo Federico, plus last week, the death of Horacio Ferrer, that worked w/Piazzola and the other Argentenean opera: “Maria de Buenos Aires”!!!
