Notes From the Arranger

Speaking from Kicho Díaz, the three brothers, Díaz, David, José, and Enrique, must be mentioned. David was a violinist, and José and Enrique were bassists.

José was the Oswaldo Pugliese Orchestra double bass and the Anibal Troilo Orchestra. He was the first influence on Enrique in the future Kicho. Kicho played guitar and bandoneon, but his brother José influenced him to play the double bass, and here starts the history of the famous Kicho Díaz.

Please Note this arrangement is for 2 Violins, Viola, Cello, and Double Bass.
