Segatori has become synonymous with Carlos Gardel – painting two murals of the tango icon in the same location. This new version features ‘the song thrush wearing his distinctive trilby hat.

In 2024, Segatori also added a cool new mural of Messi in tango guise with a Gardel-style trilby hat and scarf.

The murals all form part of a new series of abstract artworks in the street painted by Segatori entitled ‘Exabrupto de Color’ that means ‘Burp of colour’. The murals are located on the corner of Avenida del Libertador and Avenida Dorrego in Palermo close to the Hippodrome.
