Perico, Matanzas, August 26th, 1937. When this little girl’s family moved out to Havana, she started to sing along with her sisters Rita and Mercedes. At the age of 15 she travelled to Venezuela to visit a family and in a party she was listened by the producer Aristides Borrego, who immediately hired her for the children TV show "Humo y fantasía".
