José José

À propos de José José

José José, born José Rómulo Sosa in Mexico City, became the most influential balladeer in Spanish-language pop. His 1970 performance of El Triste at the Latin Music Festival in Mexico City turned a song into a country-defining moment and built the template for the romantic ballad that ruled Latin pop for two decades. Gavilán o Paloma, Lo Dudo, Almohada, and Lo Pasado Pasado became standards. Cocaine and alcohol wrecked his voice in the late 1990s; he continued to perform and record into the 2000s and remained a beloved figure until his death in Florida in 2019.
