Wunderkammer Trio plays Aieta's

 

Palomita blanca

Anselmo Aieta started to play the bandoneon very early in his childhood. He learned to play intuitively with the help of local musicians; never formally learning how to read or write music. He lived, along with other Tango artists, in the middle of the small cafes of Bs. As. playing his instrument, improvising tunes and composing melodies. Anselmo Aieta had a remarkable natural talent for creating new melodies.

Like some other musicians of that period, he often depended on his friends (who knew how to write music notation), to keep a record of his musical compositions. Anselmo Aieta managed to create and keep track of some three hundred different melodies and there are probably some others that are lost forever. He belongs to a small group of Tango Artists (like E. Discepolo ) whose way of life has attained mythical proportions in the history of Tango.

With the poet Francisco García Jiménez he wrote many songs for Carlos Gardel and Ignacio Corsini around 1930. His music was played by many orchestras of that period: Francisco Canaro, Roberto Firpo and Francisco Lomuto. His musical style is associated with the tango songs of Carlos Gardel and the traditional style of tangos played by Francisco Canaro and Carlos Di Sarli. This traditional style was in opposition to the emerging complex and learned style of Julio de Caro, Anibal Troilo and the like. Despite his own musical preferences and affiliation, Anselmo Aieta was respected by all the musicians; Troilo used to call him " papa " ( father ). Aselmo Aieta was an independent artist. He made several appearances as a solo bandeonist in the orchestra of Francisco Canaro and he also conducted his own orchestra playing in the small cafes of Buenos Aires. There are apparently no recordings of his own but many of his compositions were recorded by other orchestras.

As of 1991, there is a street on the northern side of the Plaza Dorrego in San Telmo, Bs. As., that bears his name. The Plaza Dorrego is a public place often seen as a contemporary living arena for tango.
