Tony Vilar is an extraordinary figure. An extremely popular singer in almost all of Latin America throughout the 1960's, he first came to Argentina as a child in the early 50's. Born in the town of Carolei, in the Calabria region of Italy, he came to Buenos Aires with his parents. He met with success in the early Sixties, achieving stardom as a singer of popular Italian hits. In the course of his career, he sold more than a million records, and he was the first performer to make "Cuando calienta el sol" a worldwide success.
