Tita Merello, the legendary singer and actress, a trailblazer in her unique and unforgettable style, was born, lived, and died in Buenos Aires—a city she loved and hated, but never wanted to leave. Born into extreme poverty and abandoned as a child in an orphanage by her young mother, she was later reclaimed only to endure further hardships and abuse. Always insisting that she sang out of hunger, not vocation, her life story unfolds through the poetic rhythm of her own voice, tracing her journey from the city’s underbelly to the bright lights of revue theaters, cinema, and grand stages. Celebrated, admired, and adored, she was ultimately recognized as the singular, extraordinary Tita of Buenos Aires—an unforgettable icon.
