As a singer, she also worked with Mariano Mores and dancers Mayoral and Maria Elena, in the musical Buenos Aires. When Francini and Pontier reorganized their orchestra in 1973 for a special performance in Japan, she was entrusted with the responsibility of being the female vocalist. In the 1980s, the success of Argentine Tango allowed her to travel around the world and make her unforgettable performances of One and The Last Kurdish known to the world. In Buenos Aires, she would be a key figure of tango resistance nights, along with Caño( Viejo) Almacen.
There sound of their version of Fangal is very special, When she performs tangos such as Fangal When Tanguera premiered she was asked This is not a song for women, you’ re a man then?
She responded: I am always on the edge, on the edge I can spend a little energy, I can be a male, a little later, I’ m a woman Some tangos are not only sung. They are a perspective, an overall point of vie. They must not only be sung, they must also be acted.
Fangal was both theatrical and sentimental. It was the tango. I’ d like to say something tangos: I want what excites me If I do not get excited, I cannot give anything to the young people who have to listen to me and know about tango. Some songs and some singers of tango that are like reading the newspaper.
