An innate capacity for musical invention and a sensitive nature identified the character of his oeuvre. Lucio was born in Buenos Aires. He focused on the piano, his father was a violinist and his brother Lucas trained in the bandoneón.
Lucio played with various orchestras and then formed the trio Irusta-Fugazot-Demare, with which he made his debut in Madrid.
He was attracted by the romantic style of Cobián, Delfino and De Caro, who were at the forefront of this formal and moody form of tango between 1915 and 1935.
Between 1926 and 1932, Demare’s oeuvre consisted of clearly lyrical and melodic work, such as Telón, Mañana Zarpa un Barco and Solamente Ella, which inspired the tangos of the 1940s.
After two long and successful tours in Central and South America and a second European tour, he finally returned to Buenos Aires. He also worked in films and with the trio.
In 1938 he assembled his own group, temporarily joining violinist Elvino Vardaro for Radio Belgrano. He continued successfully as an orchestra leader. Well-known singers with the orchestra were Miranda, Raúl Berón and Horacio Quintana.
Lucio was also an authentic performer on piano, with an unmistakable sound and phrasing.
In his later years he worked as a soloist in the nightclubs of Buenos Aires and in his own place La Tanguería de Lucio.
