Great surprise to see this monument of one of the most important artists of tango, here I discovered that he was born in Toulouse, as an Argentine I was very excited to see it, without a doubt one of the best things I have seen in this city

Sculpture of the great Argentine tango singer

Great sculpture of a Tango great.

Beautiful statue of a tango great. Born in Toulouse and one of the greatest tango singers in history. His songs are heard daily in Argentina today. Also don't miss the house where he was born, which is very close to this statue.

At the entrance to the park there is a beautiful statue with benches. It's a shame they defaced it and it's dirty.

I love and appreciate this statue which could be confused with a mime artist. The statue is well made and full of details. For history Carlos Gardel is a tango singer and composer born in Toulouse in 1890 and died in 1935. He and his mother emigrated to Argentina in 1892. The rest belongs to the history of 20th century music, in this case his work and his voice were classified as UNESCO Memory of the World in 2003. The sculpture is made of bronze. It was inaugurated in 2018. It is the work of sculptor Sébastien Langloÿs. Note that it is this same sculptor who created the statue of Claude Nougaro which is located in Square Charles de Gaulle. The bronze Carlos Gardel invites passers-by to come and dance in his arms like the little couple of dancers he holds in his left hand. I like this statue because there is detail, the hat in his right hand for example, and I find it amusing and joyful. You will find it at the south exit of the Compans-Caffarelli garden on Boulevard Lascrosses.

Lovely

Always a pleasure to meet good old Carlos :) Tribute to everyone who wondered if it was a statue or a real person 😜

Walking through Toulouse we met the Magician, I still think I listen to Luisito every morning with his Clarín CX50 radio Uruguay

Jolie statue de cet extraordinaire artiste né à Toulouse auquel nous devons le tango chanté

Toulouse est une ville magnifique et c'est surtout la ville de naissance de Carlos Gardel

Muy bonita escultura del gran Carlos Gardel

Nice statue on the side of a small but beautiful park.
