While Arvizu's natural vocal qualities and the power of his operatic voice attracted the attention of the public, he faced financial obstacles in his professional endeavors at this time. With this in mind he increased his repertoire to include the popular tango and initiated appearances in cafes and cinemas. Pepe Cantillo, who directed one of the most famous music revues in Mexico soon engaged Arvizu. His performances in the opera house also attracted the attention of leading figures in the phonographic industry. At this time the popular music field welcomed such noted operatic artists as Margarita Cueto,

record label soon included him on their staff, thereby beginning one of the most prolific careers in popular music. The composer Jorge del Moral entrusted his composition ''Por Unos Ojos'' to Arvizu, whose vocal versatility and musical qualities earned him the nickname "The Tenor With the Silken Voice".


International recognition

Based upon these achievements, Radio XEW in Mexico invited Arvizu in 1930 to inaugurate its first broadcast in 1930. This would not be the only time that the "Tenor With the Silken Voice" would receive such recognition. In fact, Arvizu had the honor of initiating broadcasts on several other international radio stations. For example, in 1935, he inaugurated a show on LR1 - Radio El Mundo in Buenos Aires, Argentina. Years later in 1942 he premiered with the Cadena de Las Amėricas of the

At first, Agustín Lara was a tango composer, but his compositions lacked the proper accompaniment of the tango orchestra. As a result, his works were classified within the "creole song" genre. Arvizu was the first singer to champion Lara's compositions through his performances in cinemas and on the radio. The performances of the Lara-Arvizu duo on radio XEW were well received by the public. Along with other leading vocalists of the time such as

/ref> It was a triumphant season for Juan Arvizu. This feat would be repeated years later when he finished his contract in New York with RCA Victor. He stayed in Argentina for 18 years and launched many concert tours abroad from this venue. The zenith of Juan Arvizu's career emerged in 1944. In Argentina alone, the singer earned $60,000. Audiences flocked to the stages and concert venues where Juan Arvizu appeared. He lived for several years in Chile while performing boleros as well as in Colombia. Upon returning to his native Mexico, however, Juan failed to receive the recognition which he had expected. With the passage of time, a new generation had emerged with different musical preferences. Juan had been pushed into the background. After a long tour in his native town of Queretáro, Mexico in 1967, he embarked upon a period of rest since his life had been characterized by continuous movement.

Cinema

The "Seventh Art" also benefited from the presence of Juan Arvizu. He participated in several films including ''Santa'' and ''Reír llorando'', which were produced in Mexico. In Cuba, Arvizu starred in the most important film of his career ''Ahora Seremos Felices'' with the charismatic Puerto Rican artist Mapy Cortés. By 1939, Arvizu had already reached the zenith of his fame. Even though the plot of the film was simple, it generated fabulous revenues. Arvizu sang several boleros by the composer Rafael Hernández including: ''Quiero Decirte'', ''Las Palomitas'', ''Purísima'' and ''Ahora Seremos Felices''. In 1940 he also sang in the film ''Infidelidad'' in collaboration with the actor Jorge Vélez.
