MALENA Malena, with lyrics by Homero Manzi and music by Lucio Demare, was first sung by Azucena Maizani in 1942. According to some sources, the protagonist of this tango is Argentina, Elena Tortolero, who lived in Brazil. Homer say, put the letter in an airplane, returning from Central America to Argentina, with a stopover in the country, smitten with the singer. According to Nelly Omar, great love of Homer, he wrote for her.
Acho Manzi, son of author says: Never in my house, I heard about who was Malena. Since 1942, the year he became the tango, no one thought to ask who was on reality Malena, but yes, I always knew the sense of taste and artistic qualities of my father enjoyed the poet, who only with the memory of someone who heard in his youth, was able to create the wonder that is housed within the heart of our world. You see then that the real Malena, born from the fiery memories of a boy of seventeen who revived his feelings when adult writing the verses that he dictated his mysterious profession tango lyricist. When you do not put aside the label of each of those that performed and interpreted, which also makes them masters of any personal claim, and have it deserved.
It remains the unknown, but beauty does not detract from Malena, who sings incomparably the "window" Susana Rinaldi, with that voice that could have been an inspiration to Manzi.
