Subject: Adios to Alberto Castillo

Alberto Castillo, extraordinary and unique style tango singer, passed away
yesterday in Buenos Aires at the age of 87. Started singing when he was 15
years old and after graduating as a MD, he decided to devote his life to
sing tango lyrics and candombes.

"Cien Barrios porten~os" is one of the memorable pieces that Castillo has
left us. It will be nice if during these next weeks DJs set a tanda with
Castillo's songs in honor of what this great artist has added to Tango.

Chau Dr. Castillo, We will miss you.
