Bianco Bachicha and his Orchestra
Bianco Bachicha and his Orchestra, formally known as the Orquesta Típica Bianco-Bachicha, was an influential Argentinian tango orchestra founded in Paris in 1925 by Juan Bautista "Bachicha" Deambroggio and Eduardo Vicente Bianco. Bachicha, born on March 2, 1890, in La Plata, Buenos Aires, was a skilled bandoneonist, composer, and orchestra leader who played a pivotal role in bringing tango to Europe. His partnership with violinist Bianco led to the creation of a tango ensemble that captivated Parisian audiences during the "Années folles" or "Mad Years" following World War I.

The orchestra became renowned for its performances that resonated with the Parisian public, despite being relatively unknown in Argentina. The ensemble featured notable musicians such as François Alongi, Mario Melfi, and Horacio Pettorossi, and it contributed significantly to the popularization of tango in France. The Orquesta Típica Bianco-Bachicha recorded several albums, including "Crepúsculo / Angustia" in 1927 and multiple releases in 1928, such as "Esclavas Blancas / I Lo Han Visto Con Otra" and "La Cumparsita / Lo Han Visto Con Otra."

In 1928, the orchestra disbanded, and both Bianco and Bachicha continued their careers separately. Despite the orchestra's dissolution, their impact on the tango scene in Paris remains a notable chapter in the history of this Argentine musical genre.
