From the early days of his youth, when he improvised a violin with an oil can and a stick, Francisco Canaro was driven by his desire to overcome poverty and become successful. This determinism led to a long and glorious career with a staggering output estimated at around 4000 to 7000 tracks... The phrase ???to have more money than Canaro??? captures his immortal status as having been the wealthiest man in the history of tango.
