Roberto Goyeneche (January 29, 1926 in Saavedra, Autonomous City of Buenos Aires – August 27, 1994 in Buenos Aires) 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.[1]
Despite being of Basque descent,[2] he was known as El Polaco ("the Pole") due to his light hair and thinness, like young Polish people of the time.[3] He is identified with the neighborhood of Saavedra, where he grew up.
