Francisco Canaro
Linking his fate to that of Gardel began in 1933 when he was presented as a performance artist speaker at the Nacional theater. In 1934 Nelson began broadcasting his Buenos Aires radio program "Escuche esta Noche a Gardel" (Listen tonight to Gardel), trying to keep alive the public's interest in Gardel. The June 24, 1935, news of the accident in Medellín killing Gardel was announced to Nelson in the coffee house "Los 36 Billares" by Francisco Canaro and José Razzano.
