Rosita Londner was born in Warsaw, Poland. Being just a few
months old, she and her family migrated to Argentina escaping from war.
At an early age, she starts singing with her natural voice to later

In 1951 Rosita Londner met Herni Gerro, a talented Jewish comedian, singer and violin player, who will later became her husband and partner. In 1953 they got married and started to travel around the world taking their joy, music and Jewish humor to many countries and continents including London, Paris, South Africa, Scandinavian, Israel and the whole American continent.
The critics referred to the couple Gerro-Londner as "The stars of vaudeville and Jewish Music hall" and also added "their performance causes not only a profound artistic joy, but also an exciting Jewish experience for those who long for the past and for those who are seeking a national identity".
On October 17th, 1980 Henri Gerro passed away. Rosita, shocked by her husband's death, decides not to perform any more. However, later on Rosita affirmed that Gerro wanted her to continue acting. "The show must go on", he would've said to her.
