Adolfo was born in Buenos Aires on the 14th of August 1914, on the same street where Anibal Troilo (grand master of
the bandoneon) and Enrique Villegas (an excellent jazz pianist) were born. At the age of one his parents returned
to Santiago del Estero. Adolfo studied pharmacy and biochemistry in the University of Tucuman, but music was
always his natural dedication and obsession. He joined Machingo in Buenos Aires in 1938, where he introduced into
the city night chacareras, zambas and gatos played on the piano. He composed many of the well known works
of the Hermanos Abalos along with his so called, 'Famous Tangos that Nobody Knows'. From his first marriage,
Adolfo has a son and daughter, Adolfo and Maria Beatriz and two grandsons and a great grandaughter now
residing in the US. He is presently married to Nancy Gordillo, now a dancer with the group. They have four
children; Nancy, Marina, Amilcar Adolfo and Giselle, and two grandchildren. Adolfo plays the piano and creates
some of the group's technical arrangements. He was recently proclaimed 'Illustrious Citizen of Mar del Plata' by the city
of Mar del Plata. |
