Daniel Torothe folk troubadour from Salta, author of well-known songs, among which his greatest work stands out Zamba to forget you, who died last Thursday in a hospital in his province. He was 82 years old.

His zamba signature began like this: I don’t know why you came back, if I started to forget…
Certainly it is not easy to break a sentimental bond. Things of love and, why, not of fear, the very sad song was written by Julio Fontana, with music and arrangements by Daniel Torowho bequeathed a thousand songs, as well as influencing much of today’s folklore.
But the nostalgia that drains the aforementioned zamba is so great that the feeling seems to be too small for him: “What a pity it lets me know that in the end/ Of this love there’s nothing left/ Just a poor song”.
