Enrique Cadicamo
Enrique Domingo Cadicamo (Lujan, Buenos Aires province, June 15 1900 – Buenos Aires, December 3, 1999 was a prolific Argentine tango lyricist, poet and novelist. From an initial Symbolist bent, he developed a distinctive, lunfardo-rich style from an early age, and by 1925 he had his first piece, Pompas de jabon, sung by Carlos Gardel. Other notable compositions include Madame Ivonne, Che, papusa, oi, Anclado en Paris, Muneca brava, ''Pa' que bailen los muchachosand Los mareados("The dizzy"), originally titled Los dopados("The doped"), about a couple that vows to get drunk after realizing their love is over.
Another Cadicamo lyric, Por la vuelta("[A toast] to [our] return") is a mirror image of Los mareados'': two former lovers meet a year after splitting up, find that their mutual friendship has survived their estrangement, and agree to drink to that. Incidentally, the drink of choice in both stories is champagne.
