Daniel Moyano was born in Buenos Aires, on October 6th, 1930. He spent his childhood in Córdoba city and then, in 1959, he settled in La Rioja. He worked for the Foundation of the newspaper El Independiente and he began his career as a journalist, which will lead him to work in Clarín newspaper and Primera Plana magazine. He was also violinist of the Cuarteto de Cuerdas y Orquesta de Cámara, and teacher at the Conservatorio Provincial de Música.
Between 1960 and 1974 he published the series of tales "Artistas de variedades", "La lombriz", "El fuego interrumpido", "El oscuro" and "El trino del diablo", and the novels "Una luz muy lejana", "El oscuro" and "El trino del diablo".
He was captured by the Argentinean military dictatorship at his house in La Rioja, one day after the coup d’ état: March 25th, 1976. After he was set free, he exiled in Spain. There, he worked at a model factory for a living.
During his exile, he published in Madrid the novel "El vuelo del tigre" —which he had written and buried in La Rioja—, "Libro de navíos y borrascas", "Tres golpes de timbal", and his posthumous work, the book of stories "Un silencio de corchea". In 1985, he was awarded with the Premio Juan Rulfo for his tale "Relato del halcón verde y la flauta maravillosa".
Later, his literary activity was increased by workshops, meetings with writers and courses on Argentinean literature at universities in Madrid, Cádiz, Móstoles and Oviedo. He also worked as a literary critic for El mundo newspaper (Spain).
