Chola Luna

Chola Luna (1946)

Chola Luna (stage name Alcira Carmen Luna; 12 February 1919 - 2 April 2015) was an Argentine tango singer, who flourished during the 1930s through 1950s. From 1955, she was persecuted for her political ideas during the self-appointed dictatorship of the Revolución Libertadora which ousted in a bloody Coup d'état the democratic elected government of Juan D. Peron (1946-1955). Many performers had to stop their profession, including Luna, and others, persecuted and blacklisted for their political beliefs.
