Known as "Pirincho" Canaro, he had a career that spanned many decades, and his orchestra was one of the most recorded. Much of his recorded music is in the classic salon style of the 1940s, but he is also considered a member of the old guard, and some of his later recordings contributed to the transition to concert tango. For many contemporary dancers and listeners, his early golden age recordings are the best.
Canaro composed the music for the 1915 Argentine classic, Nobleza gaucha.

on Milonga brava (feat. Roberto Maida)
(Thanks to Jeremiah I discovered another meaning of this great song. Also, being a tango dancer myself I can see in the lyrics another dimension, another layer and a more literal meaning which I want to contribute. The more interpretations the lyrics can provide the greater it is.)
Yo soy la milonga brava
I am the fierce milonga, full of energy and passion.
Candombera y entradora.
I am a candombe-style milonga, seductive and captivating.
Yo soy la expresión sonora
I am the sound expression
Que el progreso deshilacha,
That my skills as a tango dancer as well as my looks are worn-out
Canción me hizo una muchacha
But the song has made me a young girl again
De boca fresca y golosa.
With fresh, luscious and lickerish mouth
Y me bailó en la baldosa
And that was actually me who danced on the roof tiles
Quebrada del conventillo,
Dropped down the roof of a tenement building
Con el mozo del altillo
With a dreamboat from an attic
A quien le dio el corazón.
To whom I gave my heart.
