Domingo Serafín Federico, born on June 4, 1916, in Buenos Aires, Argentina, was a conductor, bandoneon player, and tango composer.

In 1932, Federico left Miguel Caló's orchestra to form his own ensemble, debuting at the Café Select Buen Orden. Throughout the late 1940s, he acted in several films and composed soundtracks. In 1963, Federico joined La Orquesta de las Estrellas, which performed on Radio El Mundo and Canal 9. He later settled in Rosario, forming a new orchestra with local musicians. His recordings were released by RCA Victor, Embassy, and Rosafon. Federico conducted over 40 tours across Argentina and Latin America, and gave 120 recitals in Japan. He passed away on April 6, 2000.
