El pollo Ricardo is an instrumental Tango composed by Luis Alberto Fernandez.
“El pollo Ricardo,” translated to English as “Ricardo the Chicken,” captures an essence of playfulness and intricate storytelling without words. As you listen to the renowned Tango Orchestra led by Juan D’Arienzo interpret this piece, imagine the quick, lively steps of a spirited dance, each note capturing the essence of flirtation and spontaneity. The violins tease with rapid, staccato phrases, reminiscent of the quick gestures of the titular character, Ricardo, energetically moving through a whimsical tale. The piano provides a bold yet stable foundation, echoing the character’s vibrant presence and the traditional roots of Tango. The bandoneón, with its sweeping, soulful melodies, brings a layer of depth and emotion, charting Ricardo’s whimsical narrative through alleys of Buenos Aires on an adventurous evening.
Juan D’Arienzo, celebrated as the “King of the Beat” for rejuvenating the Tango scene with his energetic style, presents “El pollo Ricardo” with a distinctive flair. His orchestra’s rendition accentuates the rhythmic pulse that defines D’Arienzo’s legacy—marked by spirited tempo and dynamic execution. This lively interpretation captures the essence of D’Arienzo’s musical philosophy: to create a danceable, joyous experience, one that reflects the vibrancy of Ricardo’s escapade. Through “El pollo Ricardo,” D’Arienzo not only enriches the soundscape of Tango but also puts a playful, vivacious twist on Fernandez’s composition, adding a chapter of humor and life to the beloved genre.
