Arolas composed his first tango in 1909 before he could even read or write misic. He went on to play with such early masters as Agustín Bardi and Roberto Firpo.
In 1917 Arolas moved to Montevideo where he settled, he played a number of times at the Teatro Casino. From 1920 he resided mainly in Paris where he died alone and alcoholic in 1924.
