The name is a Spanish horse-racing phrase meaning "by a head", which refers to a horse winning a race by the length of one head. The lyrics speak of a compulsive horse-track gambler who compares his addiction for horses with his attraction to women.
In recent uses, Por Una Cabeza was featured in a famous tango scene in Martin Brest's Academy Award winning film Scent of a Woman, James Cameron's True Lies, and in the opening scene of Steve Spielberg's Academy Award winning film Schindler's List.
Alfredo Le Pera was an Argentine, born in Brazil, son of Italian immigrants. Le Pera and Gardel died in an airplane crash in Medellín, on Monday, June 24, 1935.

I had the music for this stuck in my head, ever since I watch True Lies. The piece is powerful and has a harmony that's so simple, yet so epic. What I love about this, is that I tried to assimilate the violin part into the piano part as well. Who needs a violin, when you're a piano player :)
