El pollo Ricardo is an instrumental Tango composed by Luis Alberto Fernandez.
The title “El pollo Ricardo” translates to “Ricardo the Chicken” in English. As an instrumental tango piece, it evokes imagery of lively and spirited movement, characteristic of a playful dance. The vibrant melodies and rhythmic underpinning reflect the bustling personality often associated with a tango, capturing the essence of Ricardo—presumably a character as lively and flamboyant as the music itself. The piece may open with a bold introduction, setting a whimsical tone, followed by intricate musical exchanges between the orchestra sections, mimicking the playful yet determined nature of a chicken’s antics.
Under the baton of Juan D’Arienzo, known as the “King of the Beat,” “El pollo Ricardo” becomes an electrifying tango interpretation. D’Arienzo’s orchestra likely emphasizes the rhythm, offering a dance-inspiring version with pulsating beats that energize the audience, making it a staple in the tango dance floors. D’Arienzo’s tightly-knit and dynamic style brings out the lively essence of Ricardo’s character, solidifying the piece as a lively classic in tango music history.
