Roberto Goyeneche (1926 - 1994) was an Argentine tango singer who epitomized the archetype of 1950s Buenos Aires' bohemian life, and became a living legend in the local music scene. It was in 1944, at the age of 18, when the talented troubadour joined Raúl Kaplún's orchestra after winning a local contest, soon, debuting live in a local radio station called Belgrano. In 1952, Goyeneche teamed up with Horacio Salgán and with Aníbal Troilo in 1956, later becoming the first singer to record Astor Piazzolla's classic Balada Para Un Loco, after starting his solo career in 1963.
