Biography: Gato started learning tango in the milongas in 1980, first by watching the old “milongueros” dance (the ones who danced the authentic style popular in those years), and later, by taking many lessons with the great masters: Antonio Todaro, Raúl Bravo and Mingo y Ester Pugliese. In 1985, he performed professionally for the first time with the Osvaldo Pugliese orchestra in the film “Tangos, el exilio de Gardel”, directed by Pino Solanas, a film that got the best film award in Venecia Festival, 1985.
