About José Luis Rodríguez
José Luis Rodríguez, universally known as El Puma, is one of the biggest Latin pop stars Venezuela ever produced. Rising through telenovelas and balada in the 1970s, he became a continental idol in the 1980s with anthemic hits like Pavo Real and Dueño de Nada, selling out arenas across Latin America, Europe, and the United States. His powerful voice and matinee-idol charisma made him a defining figure of the Spanish-language pop era.
