Real name: Rita Sáenz

Effective period / Period of releases: 1968

Born in Perú. Rita Sàenz, as one of the pioneer girls who sang a new wave in Lima. Chela Rosellò had done it before in 1959, when he recorded the Spanish version of the theme imposed by Doris Day "Que que serà serà". I remember it very well, because it was the first record of 45rpm, which I bought by collecting my tips. It was a recording made by Chela accompanied by the Manolo Avalos Orchestra. Returning to Rita, as you mention was crooner in several orchestras, one of his first singles for Sono Radio was the track "Los Pants". However his career takes on international dimensions, when he secures Gustavo Hit Moreno making the second voice, in the theme that the Puerto Rican Bobby Capò signed "Llorando me dormi".
It turns out that Bobby Capò traveled to Argentina, to find a singer who would make him the second voice for his creation "Llorando me dormi", and correctly chose Violeta Rivas, an extraordinary balladist from the early 60's. As both were artists of the Rca Victor label, there was no problem, and they recorded this cheerful rock ballad in May of 1960, they were accompanied by the Argentine quartet denominated Los 4 of Luxury. The album was a great success in all Latin America, for the quality of its famous interpreters. Seeing such success, the teacher Enrique Lynch suggests to Gustavo and Rita, so that they join their voices and make a cover of that song that was imposed everywhere. So they did, the 45rpm single came out at the beginning of 1961, and it tasted so much that it competed seriously with the original version, and here in Lima, the album was sold as hot bread, since from those moments entered the fame through The radio, the discs, and the television.
Rita must still keep that fine voice that made her so popular in those golden years 60 '
