He wrote the music for the plays Canillita and Cedulas de San Juan for his compatriot friend Florencio Sánchez; both works were premiered in Rosario.

[1] On July 8, 1901, at his home in Venado Tuerto, he composed a march dedicated to Colonel Pablo Ricchieri, then war minister of that country and modernizer of the Argentine army.

The march became famous in other countries over time to such an extent that it was played on June 22, 1911, during the coronations of King George V and Mary of Teck (with prior approval sought by the British government from Argentina).

[1] Other marches composed by Cayetano Silva were: Black River, Anglo Boers, July 22, San Genaro (in honor of the city of the same name near Rosario), Curapaytí (1906, inspired by the Paraguayan War), and Tuyutí.

In 1997, however, his remains were transferred to the municipal cemetery of Venado Tuerto, through efforts made by the association Friends of the Historical House "Cayetano A. Silva".

This house—headquarters of the regional museum, historical archives, and headquarters of the Cayetano A. Silva Municipal band is located where the composer once lived, at Maipú 966, Venado Tuerto (Province of Santa Fe).
