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]
