GalloCiego or "blinded rooster" tells the story of the lone survivor of a cock fight, perhaps a metaphor for the Argentine male. The blinded rooster walks tall in spite of the damage incurred in his struggle to survive. He displays pride, dignity and confidence yet there is a slight underlying feeling of apprehension.

Agustin Bardi (August 13, 1884 -- April 21, 1941) was an Argentine Tango musician and Master amalgamated the rates/rhythms of the countryside to the tangos of the city. Creator of the tangos of anthology such that "Qué noche", "Lorenzo" and "Gallo Ciego". He was a pianist, violinist and composer. Bardi was born in Las Flores district of Buenos Aires and was couched in music from a young age.

During his life he produced around 70 pieces, mainly tangos, three waltzes and two rancheras. Around 30 of his works remain unpublished. He was inspired to compose Qué noche (what a night) after the snowfall in Buenos Aires on June 22, 1918, (the next time snow fell on the city was July 9, 2007).
