Biography

Raúl Kaplún was born in Balvanera, Buenos Aires to an itinerant Jewish hat salesman Leiser Finkel who had immigrated to Argentina from Bessarabia.

Kaplun was sent to the cheder of the synagogue on Paso street, as well as to study the violin from Marcos Sadoski. He later studied with José Fraga and later with the prestigious German Edmund Weigand.

He was the author of Que solo estoy, Canción de rango, Una emoción and Solitario.

Kaplun refused to join the Peronist party, and as a result his band was barred from the radio.

He is buried in the Cementerio Israelita de la Tablada, in Buenos Aires.

He was one of a group of prominent Jewish tango musicians, including Szymsia Bajour, Carlos Aguirre, Julio Jorge Nelson and Ismael Spitalnik

gollark: The trouble is that efficient modded quarries tend to outcompete turtle ones, since turtles are really annoying to work with for mining.

gollark: Switchcraft seems to manage it by making you focus more on coming up with your own goals since there aren't really any specific new mod things to do.

gollark: Everything is just personal goals in the end.
