It can be said that to shine as a heartthrob of tango, he had everything  against because the  implacable polio that catched him when he was a child, had deformed his body, so he had difficulties at the moment of walking and he was seseoso. With the passage of time, Luis Cardei demonstrated that when the major expression of the urban music is inspired by the feeling, the appearence is not important. Because his apparent fragility never became related to the mercy, the alleviation of the sadness was never allowed but his sufferings transformed him into a loved personage , kind, sententious and obliging, interpreter more than vocalist, who left for the the memory, some creations without equal.
