Mario Pardo's father sent him to Italy when he was still a boy, when seeing the natural
dispositions that he had for music. He studied in the conservatory "San Pietro a Maiella"
of Naples, besides learning all the wind instruments he was to receive the position as band
director, from 1905 to 1908. Before then he had been pupil of the "Williams" conservatory
until 1901.
Upon his return he was to be fulfilling a position in front of a Military Band of Uruguay
until 1916, the year that he resided in Buenos Aires to dedicate himself entirely to serious
music. But after diverse performances destiny pushed him towards the popular style, this
art that he did intimately. (The band was "la del 2 de Cazadores".)
It was in a meeting of song and guitar in a banquet room of the famous "Armenonville"
in 1918, a night in which he met Gardel and Razzano, they sang a southern air; Don Max
Glücksmann was present, and offered to contract him for his label "Nacional" and when
accepting, he began the time recording for that label exclusively until 1940, with his guitar
and his voice.
In the Salon "Argentina", "Nacional", "Politeama" and "Empire theaters, all the
Buenos Aires cinemas of the Glücksmann chain presented him on their marquees in
unforgettable nights until ending at the Teatro "Colon" directing one hundred guitars in
1933, and in our foremost theater the national instrument raised the scene for the first
time with that performance.
As he appeared on the radio, in "Cultura", in 1921, he acted in
front of the microphones soon doing it on all the stations except radio "Belgrano".
He became the musical adviser of the transmitters "Prieto" and "Argentina" by 1931
he more or less had made numerous tours in the interior of Argentina, to Uruguay, Brazil
and other countries.
He made his debut with the composition "Canción a Leondina" that
was the first that he recorded, among the one hundred forty that he recorded: "Hay una
Virgen" over verses of Lord Byron translated by Manuel María Flores and that Razzano soon
made appear like his; "La Tropilla", his immortal work done with Santiago Rocca; "La
Maleva", tango done with Buglione; "Linda Provincianita", Canción; "Gajito de cedrón",
Canción with lyrics by Alfredo Navarrine, that are the works that Carlos Gardel recorded and

amor", "En un bayo azafranao", "La Carreta del amor", "Poncho de cerrazón", "Los Gauchos
