Por una Cabeza is a #tango song with music and lyrics written in 1935 by #CarlosGardel and Alfredo Le Pera respectively. The name is a Spanish horse-racing phrase meaning by a head, which refers to a horse winning a race by the length of one head (by a nose). The lyrics speak of a compulsive horse-track gambler who compares his addiction for horses with his attraction to women. Carlos Gardel (born Charles Romuald Gardes; 11 December 1890 – 24 June 1935) was a #French #Argentine singer, songwriter, composer and actor, and the most prominent figure in the history of tango. Alfredo Le Pera was a #Brazilian from São Paulo, a much Italian-influenced area in Brazil. Le Pera and #Gardel died in an airplane crash in Medellín, (Colombia), on June 24, 1935. https://youtube/watch?v=8dStp5hq294 #Argentina #PorUnaCabeza #LatinoMusic #Zorzal tsu.co/LatinoMusicUK/23807543
