IN MEMORY OF TITO LICAUSI

Argentine-born actor, radio announcer and performer Tito Licausi died December 5, 2008 in Miami, where he resided for years and conducted “La hora del Tango” on Radio Caracol (1260 AM). We’re paying a right and sincere tribute to a man who with his work has projected the Argentine image through the media wherever he has been called to act. He is the author of the book “Gardel is not a myth” that was distinguished at the Book Fair in Buenos Aires.

With more than 70 years as an actor, he has been featured in Argentine films such as “Nace la libertad” and “El juramento de Lagardere,” among others, and also worked for Radio WADO in New York.

We remember his voice and honor his memory in his final journey.
