Pedro Laurenz - Virtual Class w/Makela 6/14/2020
Pedro Láurenz (10/10/1902-7/7/1972)
Real name: Blanco Acosta, Pedro- Bandoneon player, director and composer -Place of birth: Buenos Aires Argentina
Played with Julio De Caro’s orchestra and Pedro Maffia - the dos PEDROS dúo (two Pedros bandoneon duet). Maffia leaves in 1926. He wrote beautiful variations for Mala Junta (1947) and Mal de Amores. Pedro Laurenz created his own orchestra in 1934. He took with him from De Caro’s orchestra: Armando Blasco (bandoneón) and Osvaldo Pugliese (piano).
Some considered that the TANGO ARRABAL that his orchestra recorded in 1937 (instrumental) marks the beginning of the Golden Era. José Pascual was the composer and pianist.
