Raúl Lavié

Recording for Phillips with orchestra leader Héctor Stamponi in 1959, the following year Radio Libertad launched the Raúl Lavié Show, his first as a host.

Introducing a succession of young musicians to listeners, in 1962 these contacts helped earn him a spot in a new, teen-oriented musical comedy series, El Club del Clan.

His performance earned him an invitation to Mexico City, where he was cast in the title role in a local production of Man of La Mancha in 1968.

Continuing to perform in the theatre, as well as a tango vocalist and film actor, he accepted the leading roles in Bob Fosse's Pippin and in Nikos Kazantzakis' Zorba the Greek.

He returned as Don Quixote in a Buenos Aires revival of Man of La Mancha in 2005, for which he received the Golden Ace, a prestigious Argentine award in the world of theatre.
