Ramón Bautista Ortega (born March 8, 1942) is an Argentinian singer and actor, better known as Palito Ortega (Spanish pronunciation: [pa'lito o?'te?a]).
Ortega is an icon of Argentinian popular music, and is considered one of the main representatives of the musical style called New wave that marked the Hispanic-American music between the years '60 and '70.
He reached international fame, particularly in Latin America and Spain, during the 1960s, when the rock en español style of rock and roll music was popularised among teenagers in the region.
