Lucio Demare (1906–1974) was a pianist, composer, and orchestra leader known for his sensitive, lyrical approach to tango. His music often emphasized melodic beauty, rich harmonies, and expressive phrasing, creating tangos that were both emotionally evocative and danceable. Signature tracks such as Oigo tu voz, La racha, Al Pasar (vals) and Carnevalito (milonga) highlight his skill at blending smooth orchestration with subtle rhythmic drive, making his work a favorite among dancers and listeners alike.
Demare’s recorded legacy includes around 100 tracks, mainly from the 1930s through the 1950s.
DJ opinion: Lucio Demare is a romantic yet well-balanced orchestra, with a perfect blend of instruments. His music isn’t often played at milongas, but with careful selection, a DJ can create tandas that stand out beautifully among other orchestras.
