The July 26, 1967 Ignacio Corsini died in the city of Buenos Aires
already known to the early days of tango-music-only followed by a second, in which the singer , point, started to become significant. It was obvious that the first songs were not sung, for general distribution, for literature, precisely. It took another tone, other arguments, other personages. That, allied to the radio and records, the singer's voice took over the care, taste, popular admiration. Two of those voices identified by the "morocho the slaughter" and the "gallant singer, became the favorite of most. Would hardly need to name them, if the second, what the status of myth EpoR np seemed to belong to the world of the living, - Ignacio Corsini, "had not died on his fitness, yesterday in this city of his greatest hits. Now, suddenly brought the news, will join with that of Carlos Gardel, and Agustin Magaldi, one of the most beloved names in the memory of tango that fans of the known gold 2época.
Buenos Aires crossed
its first quarter century. "Undeletable profiles, yet warm affections, generous of spirit figures survivor," remembers Garcia Jimenez, was the center of the city song par excellence. The Folklore of the asphalt "was already on their history, their idols and their faithful. In the figure of the blond, handsome, singer and actor, had found one of its ideals. If the presence, if the sympathy-but the stories that are woven around a personality-have for the creation of an idol, none of these qualities, Ignacio Corsini missed, long remembered for his enthusiastic listeners and friendship, who knew how to bestow and receive.
Like many others of that time which would become famous as a singer, began as an actor with the equally famous brothers Podesta. It was at the Apollo Theatre in 1912. Would be remembered for a long time singing styles that the graceful actor, with tender and sentimental song, in works such as Martin Coronado, which included songs quickly disseminated.
heartthrob was imposed so-singer in the "National Theatre in sections." His success went to the scene to the room, the room heating in an increasing progress and firmer.
With Corsini, were born, among many others for the admiration and popular songs, "Patotero sentimental" and "The little store in Santa Lucia," which definitely enriched voice interpretations that could only convebirse as theirs. For the first tango paradoxically, Manuel Romero, the author, had imagined a totally non-existent. The report recalled that the "bully" is not "sentimental", but on the contrary, barbaric and cowardly. But the lyricist
imagined another character, the antithesis of reality, which finally imposed by the interpretation of Corsini, who first performed in the play "The cabaret dancer" written by actor César Ratti, who Apollo headed the company, where it premiered. The scene in the cabaret had such resonance that the figure of the famous actor, and author, spent the background, and the public preferred to recall only the scene of the song ever since.
same is true of "The little store in Santa Lucia", a song that opens an era of success for the authors of letters on topics of the Rosas era. In the singer's voice, verses of Héctor Pedro Blomberg, delves into the nostalgia of the lost woman and become identified simply with the nostalgia, of these transpositions artistic, intuitive, and born as a gift, was made the voice of Ignacio Corsini.
