Carlos Gardel, the greatest singer in the history of Tango, She began singing folklore; and 2×4 inció she is singing "My sad night", in the year 1917.

We all believe that Gardel was born singing tango. Before you say "mama", He sang "Mi noche triste". Good, to the less I believed. But no. It turns out that "The Creole Thrush" was a singer of folklore, when he crossed with Pascual Contursi a milonga.

Legend has it that Contursi had put some of his verses to the tango "Lita". Thus creating a new version. Called "My sad night '. Which premiered, with much, Success in Montevideo. Enthusiastic, When he returned to Buenos Aires, He showed it to Gardel. Looks like "The Thrush" loved. And he began to sing in wheel friends. I doubted tango singing in public.

At the end he was encouraged. He premiered where he sang folklore: in the "Empire" theater. Era 1917. It was a success. So much, who convinced him to follow the path of 2 × 4. Thank God. That same year, he recorded for the label "Discos Nacional Odeon", local recorder Casa Max Gluksman. He was accompanied by his partner Razzano on guitar. Tremendous sales success.

The next year, He sang for a long time in the "Esmeralda" theater (Today the "Maipo"). Now seconded by Razzano. Many people confuse this event as the premiere, perhaps because the "Empire" was accompanied by another guitarist.

In 1930 Gardel returned him to record. Now not to the speaker system, but with the newly microphone. It was with the guitars of Barbieri, Aguilar and Riverol. Again for the label "Discos Nacional Odeon".

'My sad night "paved the way for thousands of tangos that followed the theme of abandonment, misery, the woman will. It may be to blame for the nickname nostalgic and sad won by 2 × 4. God knows. The most important issue, It is that it is a beautiful tango.
