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

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

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

She died in Buenos Aires, Argentina in 1987.

Songs

Botarate
Sentencia gitana
Bigotito
Burrero seco
Encantadora
Ilusión marina
Reza por mí
Negrita, quiere café?
El pasodoble
El niño de las monjas
Al mundo le falta varios tornillo
Andate
Fumando espero
Piedad
Marioneta
Te acordás de aquella vidalita?
Caperucita
A La comadreja
Hasta que ardan los candiles
Levanté los ojos para ver el cielo
Bajando la serranía
A Escribile al comisario
Churrasqueando
El que con chicos se acuesta
La mentirosa
Te piantaste? Buena suerte!
La carrera de sortija
Viejo ciego
Para qué vivir
Naipe Marcado
