Singer María Graña toured the world and sang on the best international stages, starring in Claudio Segovia and Hector Orezzoli’s musical revue, Tango Argentino. She inherited her passion for music from her father. She entered competitions at the José Mármol club in Villa Urquiza and, when she was 12 years old, she took classes with Elvira Aquilano. She became known through a record production called Los de siempre, in which she sang Y Nunca más tu Amor, and after winning a television contest in 1970, with a version of La Canción de Buenos Aires. She was 19 years old when she met Osvaldo Pugliese, who gave her the chance to sing in his orchestra for two years. In 1975 she traveled to Medellín, Colombia, as part of a “tango embassy”, with Argentino Ledesma and Mario Bustos. For the following five years her performance on television was intense. As of 1983, with the Paris premiere of the show Tango Argentino, her international projection took off. On Broadway, the U.S. media called her “the Argentine Judy Garland”. In 1992, the show Graña con Ferrer featured herself and the poet who wrote Balada para un loco. In 1996 she was chosen by Raúl Garello to perform as a soloist with the Orchestre du Capitol de Toulouse, conducted by Michel Plasson. Enjoy her versions of La Noche que te Fuiste and Rebeldía, in 1990.
