The group in which the artist traveled, and which is at the scene of the accident, is today a sanctuary in which the miracles that were already attributed to her in life are prolonged; meanwhile, his remains rest in the Chacarita Cemetery.
Gilda, whose real name was Miriam Alejandra Bianchi, was born on October 11, 1961 in the City of Buenos Aires and grew up in the Villa Devoto neighborhood.
She began her career as a kindergarten teacher and Physical Education teachers, although she had to interrupt them in 1977 when her father died to take charge of the home, music would have a better reserved place for her.
Ever since she appeared on the scene, after responding to a printed advertisement asking for vocalists for a musical group, Gilda knew how to revolutionize tropical music with her angelic face and sweet voice, a cocktail that contrasted with the type of music that was up to that point. only male heritage moment.
It was then that the artist, born in 1961 in Ceibas, Entre Ríos, adopted the pseudonym Gilda in tribute to the character played by Rita Hayworth in the film of the same name and which enshrined her as an erotic myth.
With six studio albums, the first “From heart to heart”, released in 1992 and the last, “If there is someone in your life”, in 1996, Gilda’s compilations and greatest hits have already added thirty editions since his death. .
A little more than six months after its tragic end, the publication of the first of the posthumous albums, “Entre el cielo y la tierra”, was then a sales event that overshadowed other high-impact releases such as “Alta Dirt” , by Andrés Calamaro and “Blood on the dance floor”, by Michael Jackson.

Among the long list of recognitions, also part of the tributes are Los Charros, Vicentico, Sharon la Hechicera and Natalia Oreiro, who also played the singer in “Gilda, I do not regret this love”, the film by Lorena Muñoz that premiered on September 15, 2016.
