Biography


Darío De Jesus Gómez Zapata began writing verses at age 14 and seeking support while working as a mechanic and farmer. While in Medellín, on the recommendation of a friend, he came to Codiscos, where his musical production was announced. In 1977 Gómez already worked as artistic director in this company. In his notes were highlighted themes of December, the picaresque tone, vallenatos and dance. It was then when he decided to integrate with his brother Heriberto Gómez in the group "Los Legendarios". His first great success is "Ángel perdido", he was inspired by the death of his sister Rosangela, on 31 October 1978.

In 1985, Darío Gómez made his debut as a soloist and scored a new triumph when he performed "Decidelo (Decide it)"; then he released his first full length with the name of Así se le canta al despecho (So it is sung to spite).

On 14 May 2015, Gómez released the video of "me voy a casar (I'm going to marry)" next to the King of Popular Music Jhonny Rivera.[2] On 11 August, he would release the remix of No Hay Razón Para Odiarte (There's no reason to hate you) in collaboration with Yelsid and Andy Rivera recording a reggaeton for the first time.

Gómez died at the age of 71 at Clínica Las Américas in Medellín, where he was sent after losing consciousness. At the clinic, he showed no vital signs, and resuscitation attempts failed. His cause of death has not been revealed.[3][4]
