Alberto Soifer (1907-1977), pianist, conductor and composer of tango music, born in Buenos Aires, Argentina, as Abraham Moses Soifer. As a youth he studied classical music, but was fascinated with the tango and his entire professional career was devoted to the tango. He joined several bands as a pianist and took part in some recordings. In 1941 he formed his own band, but it was not successful. To seek new opportunities he went to live in Spain; he stayed there for some 23 years. In the mid 1960s he returned to Argentina where the illusive success which he had sought was finally achieved. His songs and music became very popular.
