Raúl Angeló

Raúl Angeló (1926–2010) was an Argentine tango singer born as Remo Angelozzi in Alcorta, Santa Fe. Discovered by impresario Laerte Carroli, Angeló settled in Rosario where he won a radio competition enabling him to perform with guitars on station LT2. He subsequently worked with orchestras led by Julio Barbosa, Francisco Plano, Luis Chera, and Edgardo Donatto. His most documented recording was “Tierrita” (composed by Agustín Bardi, lyrics by Jesús Fernández Blanco), recorded under the stage name Hector Maciel with Alfredo Gobbi’s orchestra on May 12, 1948. Angeló made regular television appearances on Canal 5 in Rosario throughout the 1960s. In 2009, a retrospective concert honoring his career was held in Rosario. He died in Alcorta on July 7, 2010, at age 84.
