Carlos Gardel (1890-1935) is often considered the greatest tango singer of all time. Probably born in France (although some sources say he was born in Uruguay), he emigrated to Argentina as a young man and grew up in the poor neighborhoods of Buenos Aires. His warm, deep baritone voice allowed him to become the symbol of an entire generation. Gardel died tragically in a plane crash in Colombia in 1935, an event that left Argentina and the world of tango in mourning. Even today, his tomb in the La Chacarita cemetery in Buenos Aires is a place of pilgrimage for tango lovers from all over the world.
