1969, 2 August – LAST PERFORMANCE !
Rodolfo Biagi…last performance of a truly great leader and composer,… at the Hurlingham Club, Buenos Aires…(he dies 41 days later)
***
Born into a family of dire poverty, he leaves school at a very young age…against the consent of his parents he begins to play piano in silent movie houses…one evening, in the theater happened to be Juan Maglio “Pacho” who invited Rodolfo to join his orchestra…he was 15
