II. HOW STARTED

"With twenty aprils I came to the centre ..."
(From tango Pu8cherito de gallina, of Roberto Medina)





... And the lot, who is a woman, gave squarely with Victoria a warm January 1996, when listening as usual-and admiration-the Black Dolina learned some competition tango singers in the street Cesar Diaz at the height of Artigas. Were it not for the history of the block from the Angel Gray, which followed Dolina brought the story to mention that artery, perhaps Victoria had not been shaken sleep already progressed, both as to record an address on a piece of paper wandering never missing from your table light. That is to say, Victoria wants to be known now and forever, that the fate gave him letters girlfriends and one of those cards is undoubtedly the stamp Alejandro Dolina. And it was not the only one, of course. Here in Villa Urquiza took its first signs as a singer or singer, as he likes to say, winning the contest finally three months later, and this time the gavel fell two decks accurate and faithful: Luis Cardei and Antonio Pissano. It was they who immediately understood that Victoria had just started to have a name within the landscape tango, as the pseudonym Victoria Moran, borrowed from his beloved grandmother, was new both for her and for the public.
And there, at that same audience, and Antonito Luisito were always smiling and applauding the humble rarity in the voice and repertoire: "Romantica", "Vamos, vamos zaino viejo", "Nobleza de arrabal", "Como tú", "Yo tan sólo 20 años tenía" , rarities, like brand. Victoria had won the contest and good law prize: recording an album and six months contract with "La casita de mis viejos", the local tango where the contest took place. Although the months passed without news of the prize, she was still desgranando tangos, milongas and valsecitos embelesada by the figures that he was aware of and the public and recognized with their applause, their affection and the respectful silence that prevailed when Victoria sang.
However, the prize never arrived, but others came from the friendly hand of Luis Cardei when invited to sing as much as Avenida Corrientes, in coffee Forum Gandhi. There was twenty aprils Victoria, as the waltz -was eighteen- but as the tango and said she had "come to the center".
