It is featured in a famous tango scene in Martin Brest’s film Scent of a Woman (1992), in the opening scene of Steven Spielberg’s Schindler’s List (1993) and in James Cameron’s True Lies (1994) The name is a Spanish horse-racing phrase meaning “by a head“, which refers to a horse winning a race narrowly - by just the length of its head. The lyrics speak of a compulsive horse-track gambler who compares his addiction for horses with his attraction to women. Carlos Gardel (born Charles Romuald Gardès; 11 December 1890 – 24 June 1935) was a French Argentine singer, songwriter, composer and actor, and the most prominent figure in the history of tango. Gardel’s baritone voice and the dramatic phrasing of his lyrics made miniature masterpieces of his hundreds of three-minute tango recordings. Together with lyricist and long-time collaborator Alfredo Le Pera, Gardel wrote several classic tangos. Gardel died in an airplane crash at the height of his career, becoming an archetypal tragic hero mourned throughout Latin America. For many, Gardel embodies the soul of the tango style. He is commonly referred to as “Carlitos“, “El Zorzal“ (The [Song] Thrush), “The King of Tango“, “El Mago“ (The Wizard), “El Morocho del Abasto“ (The Brunette boy from Abasto), and ironically “El Mudo“ (The Mute). Alfredo Le Pera was an Argentine, born in Brazil, son of Italian immigrants. Le Pera and Gardel died in an airplane crash in Medellín, on Monday, June 24, 1935. The starting phrase in the B section may be inspired by Mozart’s Rondo for violin and orchestra in C major, K. 373. The song was originally composed in A major. It was thereafter adapted to the violin and the piano sometimes in A major, sometimes in G major. #PorUnaCabeza #CarlosGardel #Piano
