University of Pittsburgh Press, 1986. Cloth bound hardcover with dust jacket protected in mylar of The Life, Music, and Times of Carlos Gardel by Simon Collier.

"Carlos Gardel (1890-1935) holds a unique place in the popular culture of Latin America. From very modest beginnings he rose to become the first genuine 'superstar' of twentieth-century Latin America. In his late teens he won local fame in the barrios of Buenos Aires, singing in cafes and political clubs. In the 1910s, in collaboration with Jose Razzano, he formed part of the most celebrated singing duo of its time in Argentina and Uruguay, specializing in folk music. But it was in the 1920s, after he switched to tango singing, that his genius became apparent."

Very Good. Crisp dust jacket protected in mylar. A nice copy with light shelf wear.
