Agustin Magaldi
Topics: Argentine singers
Agustin Magaldi was a tango and milonga singer. His nickname was The sentimental voice of Buenos Aires. Magaldi's popularity was second in popularity to tango singer Carlos Gardel.
Agustin Magaldi is portrayed in the Andrew Lloyd Webber and Tim Rice Broadway musical "Evita". In the musical Magaldi is depicted as bringing Eva to Buenos Aires and is therefore referred to as "the first man to be of use to Eva Duarte".
There is some disagreement, however, about the role Magaldi played in Eva's life. For example, in the biography Evita: The Real Life of Eva Peron biographers Marysa Navarro and Nicholas Fraser write that there are no records of Magaldi performing in Eva's hometown of Junin in the year that Eva is said to have met Magaldi.
