Gerardo Hernán Matos
Rodríguez (March 28,
1897 – April 25, 1948) was
born in Montevideo, the son of
the owner of the Moulin Rouge,
a popular local cabaret. He
studied architecture, but did
not complete the course.
He began composing as a young
student in 1917, and his first
known work, "La
Cumparsita",which he
wrote on the piano of the
Federación de
Estudiantes of Uruguay [1]. It
became one of the most
recognizable tango pieces,
though ironically, Matos was
initially too shy to play the
piece himself, and it became
well-known through the
performance of others. Sheet music list : › Che papusa oi › Cuando bronca el temporal › El Rosal › Globero › La Cumparsita - Violin and Piano › La Muchacha del Circo › Mocosita › Raspail › Son Grupos › Te Fuiste Ja..Ja..
