For a brief period in 1945, Miguel Caló's star vocalist Raúl Iriarte left the band, along with its pianist, Osmar Maderna, to form a new orchestra. It didn't last long, as indicated by this report in Cantando weekly that appeared in late 1945 or early 1946.
"The vocalist Raúl Iriarte, who previously responded to the baton of Miguel Caló, will again perform with said orchestra. Iriarte, who until a few days ago belonged to the orchestra directed by Osmar Maderna, now separated from that maestro, comes to share hits with Caló's new orchestra. The news spread quickly, giving rise to numerous rumors. Nevertheless we can affirm that this is the result of a series of amicable arrangements that in no way alter the gentlemanly ways of these artists." (Cantando, 1945)
