Enrique Santos Discépolo (Discepolín) (27 March 1901 - 23 December 1951) was an Argentine tango and milonga musician and composer, author of famous tangos such as "Cambalache" and many others performed by several of the most important singers of his time, amongst them notably Carlos Gardel. Discépolo was born in Buenos Aires. He was attracted to the arts from an early age and tried acting and theater writing (with moderate success) before finally "arriving" to Tango.
