Yolanda Piedad Polastri Giribaldi (25 February 1950 – 7 July 2024), better known as Yola Polastri,[1] was a Peruvian children's singer and songwriter, as well as a television presenter, known for her appearances on children's television shows.
[2] Her older brother, Augusto, who was a dancer in a TV show known as Ritmo en el 4, took Polastri to Panamericana Televisión to be part of the group known as Las Cincodélicas.
During the early 1970s, she appeared in a number of TV shows, including Ritmolandia, Matrimonio y algo más, El buen ambiente, Topoyadas, El Tío Johnny, Simplemente María, El Adorable Profesor Aldao, Inconquistable Viviana Hortiguera and Un verano para recordar.
She later starred in El Mundo de los Niños, which was renamed to Los niños y su mundo, after the government of Juan Velasco Alvarado commissioned a national children's TV show.
[2] Polastri suffered a stroke in early 2024, being taken to the Clínica Delgado in Miraflores before returning home in a delicate state two months later to recover.
