We sadly remember that on 24 June 1935, exactly 85 years ago, Carlos Gardel, the greatest tango singer of all time, died in a tragic flight accident, in Medellin, Colombia.
This illustration that I did some years ago shows in a humorous way the fight between three countries that claim to be the home country of Gardel, Argentina, Uruguay and France.
Beyond nationalities and styles, Gardel belongs to all of us who love tango, like a star who guides us along the path of tango, now even more than ever when we miss hugging and dancing tango so much.
