Ángel Villoldo

Ángel Gregorio Villoldo Arroyo (16 February 1861 – 14 October 1919) was an Argentine musician and an early pioneer of tango music. He was a lyricist, composer, and one of the major singers of the era, and he transformed the Spanish tanguillos, cuplés, and habaneras into Argentine rhythms. His most famous works include "El Choclo" and "La Morocha", two of the first tangos to achieve mass circulation and international success.
