El Pollo Ricardo was written in 1911 by Luis Alberto Fernandez, a young man from Uruguay who was a policeman by day and a tango musician at night. The title refers to a tango dancer friend of his named Ricardo Scandroglio, whom he affectionately called "Mi Pollo." Pollo is Spanish for "chicken" - maybe he was an awkward dancer?! This tango became very popular in the late 1940's in Argentina when the orquestra of Carlos Di Sarli recorded it three times. There have been over thirty other recordings of this fun little character piece throughout the years.
