Portrait of Aimé Painé. She was born in Ingeniero Luis A. Huergo, August 23, 1943, and died in Asunción, September 10, 1987. Her real name was Olga Elisa Painé, she was an Argentine singer of Mapuche and Tehuelche origin who dedicated herself to the rescue and dissemination of the folk music of her town. She was the granddaughter of a great Tehuelche Ranquelino chief, the lonco Painé Ngürü, it was she herself who came to the pampas in search of her family and found them. She was legally called Olga Elisa due to the legal impossibility of writing her down with a Mapuche name due to the Argentine laws of that time, although she later adopted her real name, Aimé, of Mapuche origin, whose meaning would be "what it means" or "reddish sunset." , for her artistic work. I met her and she was a great friend, I carry her in my heart.
