Cacho Castaña (Humberto Vicente Castagna, Buenos Aires, Argentina, June 11… Read Full Bio ↴Cacho Castaña (Humberto Vicente Castagna, Buenos Aires, Argentina, June 11, 1942 – October 15, 2019), was an Argentine singer and actor.
Cacho Castaña developed an interest in music during his early years, and by age fourteen, he was a piano teacher. Raised in modest circumstances in the Flores neighborhood, he worked with his father, a shoe cobbler, until age 16. He began his career in music in his teens as a pianist in Oscar Espósito's orquesta típica, one of numerous such groups that performed tango music at the time, and also performed in the Chamamé folk genre.
Castaña became famous as a bolero singer during the 1970s, performing on Argentine television programs such as Tiempo Final and Un Cortado, among others. He authored numerous hits, including Me gusta, me gusta ("I like it, I like it"), Lo llaman el matador ("He's Nicknamed the Killer") and Hay que encontrar al ladrón ("The Thief Must be Found"), and his signature bolero: Para vivir un gran amor ("To Live a Great Love"). His lyrics became known for their extemporaneous and often autobiographical style, which he described as "writing as I would speak."
He is much better known, however, for his contributions to tango music: some of his compositions are considered classics by his fans, including Qué tango hay que cantar ("What Tango Must One Sing", with Rubén Juárez), Garganta con Arena ("Throat full of sand", an homage to Roberto Goyeneche, his mentor), "Tita de Buenos Aires", (Tita de Buenos Aires, dedicated to Tita Merello), A dónde vas? Quedate en Buenos Aires ("Where are you going? Stay in Buenos Aires"), and his ode to the Flores neighborhood: Café la Humedad. Castaña composed around 2,500 songs, of which 500 have been recorded. He produced 44 records, of which fifteen became gold records (over 20,000 sold, per CAPIF ratings), and ten, platinum (over 40,000 sold).
Castaña also starred in thirteen Argentine films, including two for which he wrote the score, El mundo que inventamos ("The World We Created", 1973) and Los hijos de López ("López's Sons", 1980); numerous picaresque comedies; and in Felicidades (2000). A confirmed bachelor for much of his life, his numerous relationships included one with Susana Giménez during the 1970s (Giménez would later become a top-rated talk show hostess in Argentina). He ultimately married Andrea Sblano, the 27-year-old daughter of a close friend, in 2006; among his other close friends was former President Carlos Menem. His television appearances in later years included a cameo on the popular Argentine telenovela, Los Roldán. He earned a Konex Award in 2005 for his work as songwriter, and his tango album released that year, Espalda con espalda ("Shoulder to Shoulder") earned a Gardel Prize.He was invited to perform "with all the other monsters" in Leopoldo Federico's series, Selección Nacional de Tango Argentino (an event he considered "the happiest day of my life"), and was inducted into the National Academy of Tango in 2007.
Castaña's career declined during the 1990s, but rebounded after 2003, and he became active in Argentina's stage and festival circuit. He headlined numerous Corrientes Avenue shows, and was a regular performer in the National Peña Festival, in Villa María. A heavy smoker, he developed emphysema in later years, and was twice hospitalized as he prepared to appear in shows. He and his wife opened a children's clothing boutique, Las Castañitas.[8] Their marriage suffered, however, and they separated in 2011. He was again hospitalized following the separation, and made a speedy recovery.
After two weeks hospitalized, Cacho Castaña died on October 15, 2019.

Revienta la bailanta ya comienza el show
Ha vuelto el matador, ha vuelto el matador
se llena el escenario de luz y color
ha vuelto el matador, ha vuelto el matador
se suben a la mesa para ver mejor
ha vuelto el matador, ha vuelto el matador
luciendo un traje negro cuando sube el telón.
Les canta con el alma y con el corazón
ha vuelto el matador, ha vuelto el matador
la gente está aplaudiendo su nueva canción
ha vuelto el matador, ha vuelto el matador
pero algo en su mirada le cambia el color
ha vuelto el matador, ha vuelto el matador
de tantas que ha tenido nunca tuvo un amor.
Volvió el matador, buscando un amor
soñando que tal vez se encuentre en el salón
aquella que se fue y nunca regresó,
Volvió el matador, buscando un amor
soñando que tal vez se encuentre en el salón
esa mujer.
Travieso y atorrante jugando al amor
ha vuelto el matador, ha vuelto el matador
llenando de desorden a su corazón
ha vuelto el matador, ha vuelto el matador
vendiendo fantasías en una canción
ha vuelto el matador, ha vuelto el matador
de tantas que ha tenido nunca tuvo un amor.
