フランシスコ・カナロ
In 1959, Ricardo Francia obtained a position as a cellist and music arranger with Tokyo Yomiuri Orchestra in Tokyo, Japan, where he stayed for ten years. In 1961, he was hired for a recording session with Maestro Francisco Canaro who, at the time, happened to be with his orchestra in Tokyo. Settled in Tokyo, Ricardo Francia started his own Tango Orchestra with all Japanese musicians except for Argentinian bandoneonist Fernando Tell.
