Resumo

Tango singer Carlos Gardel's international career, including his 1931-1935 appearances in seven Paramount musicals that helped consolidate an audience for Argentina's nascent sound film industry, exemplifies the role of emerging media technologies—radio, phonography, sound film—in the renegotiation of cultural hegemonies within and beyond the nation.
