The Soul of Tango
Ada Falcón, the Diva
In early 20th-century Argentina, the rise of tango provides the soundtrack for theaters, the first radio broadcasts, record labels, and the beginnings of cinema. In no time at all, Ada Falcón becomes a sensation. Her voice — which even captivated Carlos Gardel — fills homes across the country; her records sell out, and her jewels, romances, and whims grace the pages of every magazine. She’s the darling of the spotlight — elegant, radiant, and confidently navigating a man’s world.
But how far can someone go to overcome the pain of betrayal? For suddenly, at just 37, the famous diva disappears — and never sings again.
Half a century later, an Argentine historian and a Spanish producer follow her trail to a secluded corner of the world. There, the long-forgotten Ada Falcón finally breaks her silence. What she reveals is a mesmerizing story where passion, betrayal, faith, and music intertwine with the intensity of an eternal tango.
More than just a novel, this book is a literary and documentary journey into the intimate world of an unforgettable woman who chose to reinvent herself through mystery.
