1908 August 18 – birth of ERNESTO FAMA
Singer – Leo…in the neighborhood of San Cristobal…inspired by Carlos Gardel he dreams of being a singer…while still a boy, his break comes when the chief of police gets him an audition in the National Theater.
***
His career blooms in recordings with great orchestras, radio, theater, films and in Paris he meets his idol Carlos Gardel… but by the age of 35 he had done it all and he retires from singing.

Dear Oscar and Maria
Congratulations on your wonderful site. You have done a great job! This is obviously a labor of love. You give a great deal to tango and ask little in return. The tango needs more like you.
With gratitude and respect,
