Anita Palmero (13 September 1902 – 11 January 1987) [1] was a Spanish cabaret and tango singer, as well as an actress. Nicknamed the "Cancionista nacional",[2] she had a successful career in Argentina.

Early life

[edit]

She was born in Ronda, Málaga, Spain in 1902 and grew up there with her four sisters. Her father, Manuel Rojas Palmero, was a theater electrician, so from a very young age, she was in contact with the art world. Her mother died in 1917 so the family moved to Casablanca for economic reasons.

Career

[edit]

In 1925, she appeared at the Romea Theatre of Madrid before touring Mexico and Cuba.[3] In 1929, she sang the song "Botarate" in Mosaico criollo, a film by Comminetti Edmo, which was the first tango sung in film.

Death

[edit]

She died in Buenos Aires, Argentina in 1987.
