At thirteen
years Monchito Merlo was already a professional acordionist who debuted on
radio and shortly after on television.
At the age
of fifteen, he recorded his first LP and, to his own surprise, was in high
demand at festivals and received more recording offers and important contacts.
A studious,
temperamental and enterprising young man, his ability and fame crossed the
Argentinean borders into Brazil. The states of Rio Grande Do Sur, Santa
Catarina, were getting to know Monchito Merlo.
Merlo became
the voice of the Argentine coast, playing the sweet melodies that became the
soul of the Chamame.
