Biography

Juan de Dios Filiberto, born Oscar Juan de Dios Filiberti on March 8, 1885, in La Boca, Buenos Aires, Argentina, was a composer, orchestra director, and musician. He began his musical journey by organizing a group called Orfeón, los del Futuro. He later worked as a machinist at the Teatro Colón, where he first heard Ludwig van Beethoven's music. In 1932, Filiberto formed his own orchestra, the Orquesta Porteña, which included instruments not typically used in tango like the clarinet, flute, and harmonium. He appeared in the 1933 film ¡Tango! and was appointed director of the Orquesta Popular Municipal de Arte Folklórico in 1938. Notable compositions include "Caminito" (1926), "El pañuelito" (1920), and "Malevaje" (1928). Filiberto also co-founded the Sociedad Argentina de Autores y Compositores (SADAIC) in 1936. His discography includes recordings for Odeón and RCA Víctor, with notable releases such as Archivo RCA: La vuelta de Rocha (1958-1959). He passed away on November 11, 1964.
