Carlos Gardel was a French-born Argentine singer, composer and actor, and the most prominent figure in the history of tango. He was one of the most influential interpreters of popular music in the first half of the 20th century. Gardel is the most famous tango singer of all time and is recognized throughout the world. Described variously as a baritone or tenor because of his wide vocal range, he was known for his rich voice and dramatic phrasing. Together with lyricist and long-time collaborator Alfredo Le Pera, Gardel wrote several classic tangos.
