Carlos Gardel was an Argentine nationalized singer, composer and film actor in 1923. He is the best-known representative of the genre in the history of tango. Initiator and greatest exponent of tango song,​ he was one of the most important performers of world popular music in the first half of the 20th century, due to the quality of his voice, the number of records sold (as a singer and as composer), for his numerous films related to tango and for his worldwide impact. There is no unanimity about the place and date of his birth. The Uruguayan hypothesis holds that he was born in Tacuarembó (Uruguay), on December 11 between 1883 and 1887. The French hypothesis holds that he was born in Toulouse (France) on December 11, 1890. There is unanimity in the fact that he lived from childhood in Buenos Aires and became an Argentine national in 1923. He died on June 24, 1935 in Medellín, Colombia, in a plane crash. The person and image of Gardel have been the object of popular idolatry, especially in Argentina, Uruguay and Colombia in a place of myth and cultural symbol that is still valid. In 2003, Gardel's voice was registered by Unesco in the Memory of the World program, dedicated to the preservation of documents belonging to the historical heritage of the peoples of the world. At the same time, reference is made to his voice and his memory with the phrase "every day he sings better" "cada dia canta mejor".
