After winning a contest in 1942 on
CX 36 Radio Centenario, she received a three-month contract. She then joined a women's orchestra, “Las Golondrinas”, led by
Teresita Añón, which featured
tangos,
milongas and waltzes in its songbook. They toured the south of Brazil, up to
Porto Alegre. A subsequent tour took the orchestra to a nightclub in
São Paulo named Okey. Back in Montevideo, they performed at the
Palacio Salvo's Café Palace. Initially, she recorded fourteen songs. On the radio, she performed twice a week with the Lucio Demare Orchestra. After
Juan Perón left office and the borders with Uruguay were reopened, she flew back and forth between Buenos Aires and Montevideo to perform on Radio El Espectador with a sextet which was led by
Oldimar Cáceres. Her split with Graciano Gómez occurred after touring northern Argentina. Another tour followed, this time with the orchestra led by
Héctor Norton. Thereafter, she toured until 1958 with her own ensemble which was led by
Fernando Córdoba. She married an industrialist in 1957, and retired. After his death in 2004, she returned to tango, touring France, England, China and Brazil. She died in Buenos Aires in 2012. ==Filmography==
