Alejandro Hangano Cassab (October 23, 1937 – April 23, 2005), known by his stage name El Gran Sandy, was a Bolivian-Argentine comedian recognized for his mastery of light humor ("humor blanco"), for his skill as a polyglot and for his musical abilities. When he was 21 years old, he emigrated to Argentina, where he resided for almost five decades. He lived for many years in Puerto Madryn, Chubut, Argentina, before moving to Buenos Aires. He was much loved in Chile, where he performed on four occasions at the Viña del Mar International Song Festival, being honoured with the prized silver seagull "la Gaviota de Plata" in 2000 and the silver torch "la Antorcha de Plata" in 2004. In Bolivia, however, he was less well known. El Gran Sandy married twice. His first wife was Argentine and they had a son by the name of Arturo Alejandro, born in 1962. His second wife, Antonia Villalba, was Paraguayan. Argentine president Carlos Menem was godfather to el Gran Sandy's daughter, born in 1997.
