   Armando was born in "La Boca", a suburb of Buenos Aires, known as the birth place of the Tango. His first professional contact with the Tango was at the age of fourteen, as a sound technician for a "tangueria" (Tango dance hall) in Buenos Aires. This enriching experience surrounded him with the foremost dancers, singers and orchestras of the Tango world. Ten years later he began to study the Tango himself. Armando learned to dance from the original "milongueros" and began his professional career in 1990, after meeting Daniela Arcuri.  Daniela y Armando have had numerous guest appearances as dancers for Julio Iglesias promotion of his new album "Tango" in Alan Parker¹s movie "Evita", where they were dance consultants and assisted with the film's choreography.

Pasion and Armando has appeared in the movie Assassination Tango as solo dancer with the principal actris Luciana Pedraza.
