During the initiations of the recording era for typical orchestras, Columbia company was the leader. Juan “Pacho” Maglio’s orchestra was the most successful around that time. People used to say “Give me a Pacho!” when they went to record stores to buy an album by this orchestra, and salesmen knew it. Their performances at “La Paloma” or “Garibotto” cafés were always crowded. As there were only four musicians in the orchestra, the audience used to make special songs requests to them. Some of the recordings the made include a mazurka by Metallo and the tango “La sonámbula” (“The sleepwalker”) by Cardarópoli, which was very well received by people.
