Julio De Caro, born on December 11, 1899, in Buenos Aires, Argentina, was a violinist, orchestra conductor, and tango composer. He began studying piano under his father, but later switched to violin. In 1917, he made his professional debut, replacing a violinist in Ricardo Luis Brignolo's ensemble and forming a quintet, alternating the stage with Eduardo Arolas, premiering "Mon beguin". After disagreements, De Caro left to form a new quartet with Pedro Maffia and José Rosito. His career spanned decades, marked by numerous compositions including "Mala pinta" and "Mi encanto". De Caro passed away on March 11, 1980, in Mar del Plata.
