e stood out by appearing and singing in radio soap operas, so popular by that time, and also in the movies and theater. He was always in roles as lead actor and singer.
He was born in the city of San Martín on the northwest border of the city of Buenos Aires. From his beginnings he was a soloist singer, sometimes he was backed by
Héctor Stamponi
.
In a radio program on Radio Belgrano
Estampas Porteñas
, he was acquainted with the actress Lucha Sosa with whom he married soon later. It was one of the first weddings which was broadcast live, with a storyline behind which was told on the radio.
He had many appearances in theater, but in the movies he was only in a few films. He appeared alongside peers like
Chola Luna
,
Osvaldo Moreno
,
Herminia Velich
and
Mercedes Carné
, among others.
In 1947 he shared the bill of the Teatro Apolo with
Chola Bosch

Some outstanding pieces of his repertoire and which achieved a certain acclaim were: “
Seguí mi consejo

A media luz
”.
There is not much more that we can say about this correct artist, who today is completely forgotten.
