Celia Gámez was an iconic figure in the realm of Spanish zarzuela and revista, a genre akin to musical theatre. Born on August 25, 1905, in Buenos Aires, Argentina to Spanish parents, she moved to Spain in the early 1920s, where she would eventually become known as the "Queen of the Revista," carving out a significant niche for herself within the Spanish performing arts.

Gámez's storied career was marked by her vivacious persona and her masterful command of the stage. Her artistry was captured in a wide array of recordings that have been lovingly remastered and reissued over the years, such as "Grabaciones Completas," ensuring her voice and legacy endure. Emblematic songs like "Chotis del Pichi" and "Pasacalle de los nardos" are forever ingrained in the fabric of Spanish musical culture. Her ability to convey the spirit of the era was unparalleled, and her influence extended beyond her lifetime as made evident by the commemorative album "La Leyenda Sigue... En Su Centenario," celebrating a century since her birth. Though she passed away on December 10, 1992, in Madrid, her dazzling performances continue to resonate with audiences, a testament to her enduring charm and talent.
