Juan Maglio (1895–1964), also known as Pacho, was a violinist, composer, and orchestra leader whose contributions helped shape the early and Golden Age tango. His orchestras were known for clear melodic lines, lyrical phrasing, and steady danceable rhythms, making them favorites in both salons and milongas. Notable tracks such as Arrepentido, Mi Queja, and Princesa (vals) showcase his ability to balance expressive melodies with the precise rhythmic pulse that dancers loved.
Maglio’s recorded legacy includes roughly 350 tracks, primarily from the 1920s through the 1940s.
DJ opinion: Juan Maglio is a star of old-school tango. If you’re looking for simple yet beautifully crafted early tango tracks, his orchestra is the perfect choice. Composing a tanda may require sifting through many recordings, but the time invested is richly rewarded.
