Disco Electra

Argentine label active between 1923 and 1930. Originally Disco Nacional Electra, pressed in 1923 by Trouvé, Leonetti & Compania, a factory built in partnership of Alfredo Amendola of Casa Amendola & Cia. and Casa Electra. Effectively the third Argentine record factory. From 1923 to 1925 this format of the disc is pressed. In that year, Leonetti leaves the partnership and returns to Porto Alegre. Amendola funds Sociedad Fonógrafica Argentina and in 1926 builds or refits a factory with electric recording capabilities. Early 1926 Electra records were called just Electra and from 1926 to 1928 Disco Electra. Few if any were produced between 1928 and 1930, year when Amendola declared bankruptcy and closed his companies.
