El Pollo Ricardo - Orchestral Arrangement

El Pollo Ricardo was written in 1911 by Luis Alberto Fernández, a young man from Uruguay who was a policeman by day and a tango musician at night. The title refers to a tango dancer friend of his named Ricardo Scandroglio, whom he affectionately called “Mi Pollo”. Pollo is Spanish for “chicken” - maybe he was an awkward dancer?! The tango became very popular in the 1940’s in Argentina when the orquestra of Carlos Di Sarli recorded it three times. There have been over thirty other recordings of this fun little character piece throughout the years.
