Biography

America Barrio born in Santiago de Cuba (11 September 1917) since she was just a girl she participated on all her school cultural acts.

When she was 12 years old she started singing on birthday parties and charities.

America Barrio study music and singing theory in the Municipal Conservatory of Havana, (today called Amadeo Roldan Conservatory).

She couldn't make much of a career on lyric singing so she started working on radio stations on music programs. On that time she met Juan Manuel Jorge Reyes an actor and director of live radio plays.

He needed an actress for one of the radio productions at that time. America was the perfect match, but she didn't think she was experience enough. Jorge Reyes hired her anyway and since then they work together on cinema, theater, tv and radio.[2]

gollark: I don't think "you need to experience it" is a very good argument, though, inasmuch as I really wouldn't want to experience some political systems I'm pretty sure would go badly.

gollark: Also, people seem to be inconsistent on what it actually is.
