Julio Sosa
Uruguayan tango singer Julio Sosa was born Julio María Sosa Venturini on February 2, 1926, in Las Piedras, Uruguay. After cutting his teeth with Carlos Gilardoni's orchestra in La Paz, he relocated to Montevideo and began collaborating with the likes of Hugo Di Carlo, Epifanio Chaín, Edelmiro D'Amario, and Luis Caruso. His career took off after moving to Buenos Aires, where he rose to prominence as the vocalist for the Francini-Pontier orchestra, cutting several singles for the RCA Victor label between 1949 and 1953, including "Por Seguidora y por Fiel," "Viejo Smoking," and "El Hijo Triste." Following the orchestra's dissolution in 1953, Julio Sosa worked with Francisco Rotundo and later joined Pontier's project until the beginning of his solo journey in 1960. El Varón del Tango, his studio debut, was released in 1961 and was followed by other well-received releases such as El Tango Lo Siento Así (1962), Reciedumbre y Ternura (1963), Con Permiso, Soy el Tango (1963), and El Firulete (1964). On November 26, 1964, a car accident brought Julio Sosa's blossoming career to a tragic halt. Yet, his legacy lived on, with posthumous albums and compilations capturing some of his most acclaimed performances in the studio. In 1994, the compilation 30 Aniversario 1964/1994 was released to commemorate the thirtieth anniversary of his death, featuring his renditions of tango classics like "Mano a Mano" and "Cambalache."
