Gardel put his own unique spin on tango music by inventing the tango-song, with his 1917 hit "Mi Noche Triste." The introduction of lyrics into the tango- formerly an instrumental genre- set a new trend and eventually turned Gardel into the most important singer of his time. ... " Gardel toured Argentina, Uruguay, Chile, Brasil, Puerto Rico, Venezuela, Colombia and cities like Barcelona, Paris and
New York. ... Paramount saw in Gardel their ticket to enter the Latin American film market. On returning to Buenos Aires, Gardel was already an international singer who wanted to broaden his horizon. He signed a new recording contract, this time with RCA, that would yield the definite versions of his all-time greatest hits such as “mi Buenos Aires Querido, Por Una Cabeza, Volver, El Día Que Me Quieras, Golondrinas, Cuesta Abajo, Silencio” and many others.
Most of these songs are closely linked with the figure of Alfredo Le Pera, an Argentine settled in Paris who, as from the early 30s would become Gardels lyricist and script writer at the suggestion of Paramount Pictures, with which the singer would begin a close relationship that would last until his tragic death in the plane crash of Medellin, Colombia, in 1935, resulting in a number of films shot in the United States, such as “Melodía de Arrabal, El Tango en Broadway, El Día que me Quieras and Tango Bar” which did a lot in establishing Gardels international reputation as tangos prime singer.
