 He was born on December 21st, 1923 in Quilmes, Buenos Aires. When he was
just seven years old he impressed everybody because of his ability with
the bandoneon. At the age of fifteen he already played in different
orchestras with some friend of his, and when he was still very young he
joined Roberto Firpo´s orchestra and, some years later his unforgettable
quartet. He also played the bandoneon and made musical arrangements for
Rodolfo Biagi and Carlos di
Sarli´s groups, Francisco Canaro and many other people who defined a
style in tango. But perhaps his most important moment was when he played
in lounges with parterre boxes, such as “El Nacional”, where he made
his debut in 1942, and all the “cafés” in Flores, Boedo, La Paternal,
which were shelters for tango lovers and that had been disappearing in
time. Caviello has been touring around Argentina with his orchestras for
the last fifty years, and travels periodically to different cities where
he takes exams to pupils who learn music with the methods established by
the Conservatorio Musical Buenos Aires (Buenos Aires Musical Conservatory)
which is directed by him. In his conservatories is not only bandoneon and
piano you can learn, but also guitar, organ, accordion, bass, electric
guitar, contrabass, violoncello, flute, violin, viola and mandolin, using
an audiovisual teaching system which was invented by Caviello. He is the
author of thirty six modern teaching methods used in Argentina, Chile,
Uruguay, Paraguay, Brazil, Bolivia, Cuba, Colombia, United States, Spain,
France, Italy and Japan, where his albums have been sale records for a
very long time. Some of the tangos he played most often in his career are:
“Inspiración” (“Inspiration”), “Alma de bohemio” (“Bohemian
soul”), “La mariposa” (“The butterfly”) and “Quejas de bandoneón”
(“Bandoneon complaints”). He assures that “El día que me quieras”
(“The day that you love me”) by Gardel and Le Pera is a highly
superior song and it would be possible to make an opera with that tango.
