Gabino Coria Peñaloza (February 19, 1881 – October 31, 1975) was an Argentine poet and lyricist. Gabino Coria Peñaloza was born in La Paz, Mendoza, in 1881. His family relocated to Buenos Aires, and Coria eventually settled into a post as a tax collector for the city. His artistic inclinations stoked an interest in literature, poetry and narration - particularly a form of narration known in the Argentine countryside as coplas, ten-line verses rich in metaphor and aphorisms.
