Andrés Ignacio Corsini, known professionally as Ignacio Corsini, was an Argentine singer and composer born on February 13, 1891, in Troina, Sicily. He began his music career in theatre companies and circuses. In 1912, he secured a recording contract with RCA Victor. Corsini's early recordings featured traditional folklore standards and earned him roles in Argentine films such as Santos Vega (1916) and Milonguita (1922). He gained recognition for "Un lamento" in 1920. His breakthrough came with the popularization of Juan de Dios Filiberto's "Caminito" in 1927, which became one of Argentina's most recognizable songs. Corsini also composed and performed numerous tangos, including "Flor marchita." Following his wife's death in 1949, he retired but returned for a Channel 7 special in 1961. He passed away on July 26, 1967.
