Geraldo And His Orchestra Geraldo Ensemble Geraldo And His Gaucho Tango Orchestra The Geraldo Strings Geraldo & His Accordion Band

British dance-band leader, arranger and booking agent for performers, better known as Geraldo.
Born 10 August 1904, London, England.
Died 4 May 1974, Vevey, Switzerland.

Bright adopted the name Geraldo in 1930 to become one of the most popular dance-band leaders of the 1930s with his sweet music and his Gaucho Tango Orchestra. During the 1940s, he modernized his style to meet the growing popularity of merging ethnic dance movements and continued with great success.

Geraldo died of a heart-attack whilst holidaying in Switzerland.
