Career


At the age of 14 he made his debut at the Teatro Calderón in Madrid in the same show as Lola Flores and very soon after he performed his first show, “Pinceladas”, becoming a great figure in Spanish song in the 1950s, despite the fact that his real passion was bullfighting, but he did not have success in that field.[2]

His most famous song is "Obí, obá". He also made a peculiar version of the Elvis Presley song "In the Ghetto".[3]

He died due to COVID-19 during the COVID-19 pandemic in Spain.[4]
