Alberto Castillo
Alberto Castillo was the pseudonym of Argentine tango singer and actor Alberto Salvador De Lucca, born on December 7, 1914, in Buenos Aires. The son of Italian immigrants, he attended medical school and worked as a physician for many years before deciding to focus on his music endeavors. Even though he made his professional debut in the 1930s singing with the orchestras of Julio De Caro, Augusto Berto, Mariano Rodas, and Ricardo Tanturi, it wasn't until 1941 that he scored his first significant hit with a rendition of Alfredo Pelala's "Recuerdo." After breaking ties with Tanturi in 1943, Alberto Castillo became a popular candombe performer, scoring hits like "Charol," "Siga el Baile," "Baile de los Morenos," and "Candonga." In the following years, his successful recording career helped him branch out into acting, appearing in several films like Adiós Pampa Mía (1946), La Barra de la Esquina (1950), and Buenos Aires, Mi Tierra Querida (1951). During the 1990s, he experienced a surge in popularity when rock band Los Auténticos Decadentes invited him to sing on a cover of "Siga el Baile," included in their 1993 album Fiesta Monstruo. In 2002, Alberto Castillo passed away at the age of 87 and was buried in La Chacarita cemetery.
