Francisco Javier Vargas Pardo is a Spanish blues and rock guitarist, founder and leader of the Vargas Blues Band. Javier was born in Madrid shortly after his parents, immigrants in Argentina, returned from Buenos Aires. Nine years later, once again back in that country, they reside in the cities of Mendoza, San Luis, Buenos Aires and Mar del Plata. Passing through Avenida de Mayo in Buenos Aires, he meets Tanguito, composer of “La Balsa” and pioneer of National Rock.
