On february 18th, 1922 in Buenos Aires city was born this excellent piano player, director and composer. His real name was Mariano Martinez but when he got married he adopted his wife's surname becoming, from that moment on, Mariano Mores. He started studying piano when he was a boy. His first exhibition was when he was 14 years old in Vicente cafe at Corrientes street, where he performed as piano player. He also was part of the Mores trio with his sisters Margot and Myrna. They sang in Belgrano Radio. Later on he worked with Roberto Firpo. From 1939 to 1948 he was in Francisco Canaro's orchestra as a piano player. He continued his career as a soloist performing in Alvear Theatre. This new experience allowed him to use new tones that the typic orchestra did not allow. He formed an orchestra where the person who adjusted was Martin Darre. They travelled together and great success. That is the orchestra that still plays with him. He also helped with another orchestras like: Miguel Montero, Susy Leiva, Nito Mores, Enrique Lucero. He was also an actor. As lead actor he appeared on "Corrientes, calle de ensueño"(1949) (Corrientes, dream street),"La doctora quiere tango"(1950) (The doctor wants to tango) with Mirtha Legrand, "La voz de mi ciudad"(1952) (My city¨s voice). He also appeared on some musical comedies and he did the music of some films as:"Senderos de Fe" (1938) (Paths of faith) As an author, some of his works arre:: "El Firulete", "Bailonga", "La calesita"(The carrousel), " Taquito militar", "Copas, amigos y besos"(Drinks, friends and kisses), "Adios pampa mia"(Goodbye, my Pampa), "Uno" (One), "Tan solo tu"(Only you), "Frente al mar" (In front of the sea), "A quien le puede importar" (Who cares?), "Linda"(Beautiful), "El patio de la morocha" (The morocha's garden), "Cafetin de Buenos Aires"(Buenos Aires Bar), "Por que la quise tanto" (Because I loved her so much), "Cada vez que me recuerdes" (Whenever you remember me), "Gitana"(Gypsy), "Cuartito azul" (Little blue room), "Estampa de varon", "Sin palabras" (Without words), "cristal" (Crystal), "Grisel", "Tu piel de jazmin"(Your jessamine skin), "Tanguera", "Tu lagrima de amor" (Your love tear), "El estrellero"(The tossing the head), "Tan solo un amor" (Only one love), "Yo tengo un pecado nuevo" (I have a new sin). He formed the Modern Rhythmic Sextet where he added to piano and bandoneon electric guitar, bass, pipe organ and percussion. He worked with important tango artists, like Enrique Santos Discepolo, Enrique Cadicamo, Jose Maria Contursi and Homero Manzi. With Homero Manzi he composed only one song called "Una lagrima tuya" (One tear of yours). It was in a clinic when Homero was very ill and Mariano Mores visited him. Mores is a big artist, he always overstepped the typic orchestra and he is one of the most respectable composers;in his songs he shows his deep sensibility and his excellent descriptions.
