hat Buenos Aires bohemian life of the narrow Corrientes Street in the 20s, which lived with and for tango, had him among its ranks on those endless evenings. He belonged, with badge and all, to the gang of the Los 25 Club, quite famous by that time.

He was friend of José María Rizzuti’s who used to visit him at his place. The latter made him write tango lyrics and so “Volvé mi negra” and “Canción de cuna” were born. After the teenager Juan Carlos Thorry premiered them, Carlos Gardel heard them and liked them very much so he later recorded them.

«When I hummed those tangos for him at the Paramount movie theater where the unforgettable singer was then appearing, with an air of amazement, Carlitos told me: —Boy... What a pair of beautiful tangos you’ve sent me!», on one occasion this author said.

His other songs were forgotten, like his theater play Las Aventuras de un Pucho which was premiered at the América Theater (Boedo 819) by a company whose leading figures were the sisters Ada and Adhelma Falcón. (He is no relation to Adolfo Diez Gómez, writer and playwright who died in Buenos Aires on May 13, 1967).

Diez Gómez was born in Buenos Aires on March 4, 1902 and there he passed away on August 16, 1958.
