Antonio Botta

Stage directors and theatre impresarios with whom he worked included his brother, Américo Botta, Luis César Amadori, Ivo Pelay, José González Castillo, Elías Alippi, Carlos Osorio and Antonio De Bassi.

[1] He teamed up with the composer-musician Francisco Lomuto to write a number of works, such as the song "Si soy así" (loosely, "Yes, that's how I am"), a slinky tangoesque song of celebration addressed to all women, regardless of age or marital status.

[4] The composition caught the spirit of the age: the well known tango performer Carlos Gardel made a recording.

Another particularly successful collaboration by Botta and Lomuto, albeit with a very different spirit, was "La canción del deporte" (loosely, "The song of sports").

In 1947 Antonio Botta and Francisco undertook a successful tour of Spain together.
