Born
in the popular San Telmo neighborhood , Miguel De Caro and the Tango
Music had the same cradle. Miguel couldn't have another destiny than
became one of the household names in the Buenos Aires music.
Growing up in a family
with a Tango music lineage, and after finishing his academic studies at
the age of 18, Miguel started to teach music. At the same time, his
increasing interest in B.A. popular music made him a constant
attendant of the jam sessions held at the emblematic Británico
Bar (a kind of "Minton's " for tango) in San Telmo. There
he got to play with the cream of the crop in sessions where (like in the
old jazz days) he who couldn't follow the old masters' pace was
automatically rejected.
This training gives him the "chops" required to add to his own
music the "down to earth" touch that is the landmark of any real
life working musician.
Between 1991 and 1995 he attended several clinics held in B.A. by the
Berklee College of Music.
He had the chance, then, to meet Gary Burton, who seemed very interested
in some of Miguel's arrangements of tango classics that he shows to him.
After some years spent as a session player in radio and TV shows, Miguel
devotes his entire time to his own project since the early 80's.
