	José ~~Francisco~~ García was born in the tango-rich neighborhood of Barracas, in the southern part of Buenos Aires. From a young age, he showed an innate passion for music, learning to play multiple instruments including the piano, bandoneón, and especially the violin. García studied at the Conservatorio Nacional, where he trained under some of the most prestigious musical figures of his time. His original dream was to become a classical violinist, dedicating himself to that path with notable discipline and enthusiasm.		'''José García''' was born in the tango-rich neighborhood of Barracas, in the southern part of Buenos Aires. From a young age, he showed an innate passion for music, learning to play multiple instruments including the piano, bandoneón, and especially the violin. García studied at the Conservatorio Nacional, where he trained under some of the most prestigious musical figures of his time. His original dream was to become a classical violinist, dedicating himself to that path with notable discipline and enthusiasm.

	After completing his studies, García moved with his family to Lanús, where he founded his own music conservatory. His dedication to musical education led to the formation of a youth orchestra composed of his students. In 1926, he established a children's orchestra which later evolved into the foundation for his future professional ensemble: "José García y sus Zorros Grises."

His dedication to musical education led to the formation of a youth orchestra composed of his students.

	== Formation of "Los Zorros Grises" ==		== Formation of "Los Zorros Grises" ==
	The origin of the name "Zorros Grises" ("Grey Foxes") stems from the grey flannel suits worn by García's orchestra members for a debut performance. The suits were an affordable option, costing less than thirty pesos at the time. Audiences nicknamed them "los grises" ("the greys"), a label García later modified to "los Zorros Grises," inspired by ~~Rafael Tuegols’~~ tango "Zorro gris," which the orchestra used as their introductory piece.

	García’s orchestra belonged to the so-called "rítmicas"—tango orchestras with a strong rhythmic pulse. However, they also incorporated other danceable Latin American genres such as corridos, rumbas, boleros, and marches, which contributed to their popularity among diverse audiences. The style was especially appreciated by milongueros due to the clear rhythmic phrasing supported by the romantic piano work of Barbará and later Carlos Figari.
