Anselmo Aieta (1896 - 1964)

Anselmo Aieta was self-taught, became a popular figure during the 1910s and 20s, and composed at the piano and bandoneon with equal virtuosity. Belonging to the more traditional line that opposed the new evolutionary styles of Laurenz or Maffia, he performed in the Francisco Canaro orchestra, and much later formed his own groups attracting the best musicians of his time.
