Rosita Serrano was Chilean and called "The Chilean Nightingale", because 
of her operatic coloraturas. Immensely popular in Germany, where she was 
discovered by composer/ pianist/ producer Peter Kreuder, but also in 
Scandinavia (she even recorded a few titles in Swedish) and in her home 
country (she recorded in Spanish as well).
War time hysteria resulted in her being banned in Germany (for giving a 
charity concert for Jewish refugees); others accused her for having 
performed in Nazi Germany.
She never made it in the US.
