Patrice et Mario

Last updated

Patrice et Mario were an Italian singer-guitarist duo that was popular in France the 1940s and 1950s.

Patrice (Patrizzio Paganessi; 1915 – 26 April 1992) and Mario (Mario Moro; 1918 – 9 August 2002) were part of the vogue for Mediterranean music in France exemplified by Luis Mariano and Tino Rossi. [1] Their popularity in Africa [2] led to their name being used by another duo, consisting of Philippe Vungbo (alias Lando) and Cantador Rossignol. [3]
