Nickname El Caballero Del Tango Though He Never Stood Out For His Musical Skills Tanturi Led For Several Decades A Renowned Orchestra Which Owed Its Success Basically To The Strong Appeal Of Some Of Its Singers.

His Brother Antonio Tanturi Pianist And Co-Director Of The Orquesta Típica Tanturi-Petrone Convinced Him To Give Up The Violin And Take Piano Lessons With Him. In 1924 Ricardo Started His Artistic Career Playing The Piano At Clubs Charity Festivals And Jointly With His Brother At LOY Radio Nacional Then Called Belgrano None Of This Prevented Him From Studying Medicine And Graduating With Very Good Marks. At The University He Organized Student Bands. There He Met The Actor Juan Carlos Thorry Who Would Then Be His First Singer And Many Of The Musicians Who Would Join His Orchestra. In 1933 He Formed A Sextet To Perform At Cinemas And Theaters. He Named It "Los Indios" After A Polo Team. That Would Be The Name Of All His Subsequent Groups.
