The young Osvaldo should have work on sales. Fortunately for this article (and for us), he finds a passion for music and bandoneon during a concert in a small bar of Buenos Aires, on Chorroarin and Triunvirato streets.

"I knew far later, that the guitarist was Domingo Salerno, the bandoneonist Augusto Berto and the violinist Francisco Canaro". At that time he could not buy his favourite instrument, so he starts with a concertina – kind of small bandoneon with about twenty notes on each side – and create a trio with his brother Emilio at violin and Martin Barreto at guitar.

Despite his father’s hope, he skips class to play music and when he finally gathered 60 pesos (what an amount!), he finally buys his first bandoneon.
