- Biography
- Marta Susana Schwindt (Suint is her artistic surname), was born in Sarandí in Argentina. At the age of 20 she moved to Mar de Plata, city where she still lives studying Letters in the National University. Her first contact with the art was given at the age of four when she got into the School of Classic and Spanish Dances. With a guitar given by her father and at the age of 9, she took part in a program of Radio Mitre. In the same Radio that, time later, she had to recite a few Decimas of Martin Castro. In a moment, she unexpectedly forgot the lyrics and ended up by improvising, realizing that she was good enough to be a payadora. Her first payada was in March 1972, with µlvaro Casquero, in the lounge of Rafael Calzada's Catholic Circle. Marta Suint has crossed almost the whole Argentina and the Uruguay, taking part in Latin-American meetings in Cuba and Mexico. She has also spread the singing of the payador from the whole America up to Japan, Europe and Australia. According to Marta Suint, the payador must defend the human rights, with everything what it implies. The payador has to remember the sad history of those who are missing, to speak about the right of the laborer, of the worker, of the pensioner, of the child to have a good education . etc. Being always in the rear and denouncing the injustices. This matter is reflected in her multiple recordings. This payadora supports the entry of the woman in the payador environment, at least with records. There are gathered some women's names that in other times there would have exercised the payadas of dispute such as Aída Reyna or Ruperta Fernandez, but no verse of the same ones has been rescued. Nowadays, they can indicate names as those of Susana Repetto, Liliana Salvat and Mariela Acevedo.
