Osvaldo Nicolás Fresedo was an Argentine tango composer, conductor, and bandoneonist born on May 5, 1897, in Buenos Aires. Known by the nickname âEl Pibe de La Paternalâ, he began his career playing bandoneon in Guardia Vieja orchestras during his adolescence. In 1920, Fresedo recorded in Camden, New Jersey, before forming his own orchestra upon returning to Argentina. He composed works including âEl espianteâ, âVida mÃaâ, âEl onceâ, and âPimientaâ. Between 1925 and 1928, the ensemble recorded nearly 600 tracks for Odeon, frequently featuring vocalist Ernesto Famá. During the 1930s and 1940s, he collaborated with singer Roberto Ray and recorded for RCA Victor. In 1955, Fresedo provided the musical score for the film Adiós muchachos. He recorded four tangos with jazz trumpeter Dizzy Gillespie in 1956 and began recording in stereo for Columbia in 1959. Fresedo remained active as a conductor until his retirement in 1980. He died on November 18, 1984.
