Musician, bandoneon player, director and composer. (May 5, 1897 - November 18, 1984).
Born in Buenos Aires to a wealthy family seems to have influenced his art: his orchestra, refined and aristocratic, was the favorite of upper circles. However, despite Osvaldo's father was a rich businessman, at the age of ten, his family moved to La Paternal, a neighborhood somewhat away and humble, with flat houses in a popular surrounding which had its effect on his destiny. It was there where he started playing the bandoneon. His was the longest tango career ever found: over 1,250 recordings along 63 years.

Fresedo recorded for several labels, including Victor, Brunswick, Columbia, Odeón. The Odeón era (specially the electrical recordings from 1927- 1930) are very scarce and are highly sought after by collectors. Tango at its maximum expression.
