He is considered one of the best singers and interpreters of Tango, also a composer and a film actor. He is known worldwide for being the initiator and greatest exponent of the tango song and is one of the most important interpreters of the 20th century, 4 for the quality of his voice, for the number of records sold, for his numerous films related to tango and for its repercussion around the world. On his date and place of birth there are controversies and debates, there is the Uruguayan hypothesis that maintains that he was born in Tacuarembó (Uruguay), on December 11 between 1883 and 1887 and The French hypothesis maintains that he was born in Toulouse (France) on December 11 1890. But what nobody disputes is that Gardel lived from his childhood in Buenos Aires and became an Argentine citizen in 1923, and began his professional and artistic career in Argentina, taking our culture to all parts of the world, so Carlos Gardel is More Argentine than the obelisk. Unfortunately, on June 24, 1935 at 3:05 p.m. Carlos Gardel, along with Alfredo Le Pera, his musicians and secretary, died in the collision of two planes at the time of take off, on the airport runway. Olaya Herrera, which was then known as "Las Playas" Aerodrome in the city of Medellín (Colombia), according to official sources, the accident was due to strong winds in the area.
The charred body of the Troesma was buried in the San Pedro cemetery, in Medellín, but 6 months after the tragedy it would be exhumed and the trip back to Argentina would begin by train, truck, mule back and boat demanded more than 50 days, through 6 countries, including: Colombia, Panama, New York (United States), Rio de Janeiro (Brazil), Montevideo (Uruguay) and finally Buenos Aires, Argentina, where he was veiled on February 6, 1936 and in the ring of Luna Park where a burning chapel was set up to say goodbye to the Creole Thrush. The farewell ceremony in Luna Park lasted throughout one night and the next morning, the procession left for the Chacarita cemetery, where it was buried in the Pantheon of Artists, but that was not Gardel's last resting place. In December 1936, the government of Buenos Aires granted him an exclusive double plot for which, a year later, the body of the Thrush was exhumed again and transferred to about 100 meters where he was granted a mausoleum that has his statue in the entry. And finally the man who brought tango to the whole planet was able to rest forever.If you liked this video, I invite you to subscribe and leave me in the comments if you would like a special video of how the last days of Carlos Gardel were .
