Ricardo Tanturi had achieved great prestige in the tango world, when he was the leader of “Los indios” (“The indians”), sharing the stages with the unforgettable jazz band “Santa Paula Serenaders”, directed by Raúl Sánchez Reynoso. He always had a traditional way of playing, without experiments of more musical restlessness. He was one of the most faithful exponent of a simply expressed tango, which satisfied the requirements of one portion of the tango audience. Tanturi always gave great importance to the vocalists of his group. With Alberto Castillo first, and with Enrique Campos later, he formed one of the most recognised artistic duets of that moment.
