Antonio Videgain Reparaz (November 1, 1892 in Madrid Spain – June 1, 1945 in Panama City) was a Spanish baritone and actor, who dedicated his career to zarzuelas and Operas.
He began music lessons with his father, Antonio Videgain García (Piano teacher), and continued his education with other composers.
Apparently he made his debut in 1907 in the Slavic Theater in Madrid singing an operetta with good results, but after a while he entered the army's surveying school.
Following the success of his pieces, he set to music another sainete with the same characters, which became one of his most famous works: Molinos de viento (Zarzuela), or La viuda alegre.
In the early 1930s, he began a tour with his artistic partner Lucy Gomez visiting Spain, Morocco, Algeria, Buenos Aires, Montevideo, Caracas, Bogota.
And in 1934, he arrived to Pánama where he settled and founded in 1936 the first Songs Book of Latin América that he named "Cancionero Panamericano", that was edited until 1979, after his death.
