(Luis Miguel Gallego Basteri; San Juan de Puerto Rico, 1970) Mexican singer, heir in
the 1990s to the tradition of singers like Julio Iglesias or José Luis Rodríguez "El Puma", although more in
keeping with the forms of the 1980s and 1990s. . Featured on the Frank Sinatra tribute album Duets II, he is
incredibly popular throughout South America and among the Hispanic community in the United States.
Raised from a young age in Mexico, Luis Miguel recorded his first album at the age of twelve and received his
first Grammy at fifteen, signing for Warner at seventeen. Before, albums like 1 + 1 = Enamorados, Directo al
corazón, Decídete or Palabra de honor had consecrated him as an absolute figure on the Mexican music scene.
His position opened the doors of the cinema for him and he intervened in the films Never Again and Love Fever
(1984). He even recorded with Sheena Easton the song I like you just the way you are, in an attempt to break
into the American market, a song for which he would receive a Grammy Award.
After his signing with Warner and beginning a close collaboration with Juan Carlos Calderón, in 1986 he
released Soy como quiero ser, which earned him eight gold and five platinum records. In 1988 he saw the light
of a man looking for a woman, whose edition was accompanied by an extensive tour of South America. The
album became a complete success, even in the United States, where Luis Miguel managed to stay at the top of
the Billboard Latin chart for more than a year.
His seventh album, 20 años, was released in 1990 and again led him to tour all of South America and his
presentation at Madison Square Garden in New York. From the album Romance (1991), a work recreating
classic boleros, more than six million copies were sold worldwide (four hundred thousand in the first ten days
alone) and it also became a platinum record in the United States, being the first long duration in Spanish to
achieve it. Luis Miguel was the only Latin artist invited to participate in the Barcelona Gold album,
commemorating the Olympics held in Barcelona in 1992. By then he was already the most prestigious Latin
artist, taking part in the concert to raise funds for the Children's Museum of Mexico.
In 1993, produced by Luis Miguel himself and with the presence of David Foster (winner of fifteen Grammy
Awards), the album Aries was released (with more than two million sales) and he returned to Madison Square
Garden, where he would get a full house. , as occurred in the four concerts held at the Universal Amphitheater
in Los Angeles and the ten consecutive ones at the National Auditorium in the Aztec capital. That same year he
won the MTV award for Best International Music Video. Aries won the Grammy for Best Latin Pop Album.
In 1994 Segundo Romance was published, recorded in Los Angeles with the production of Armando
Manzanero, Kiko Cebrián and Juan Carlos Calderón, which broke all records with its sixteen sold-out songs at
the National Auditorium of Mexico. The album entered directly at number twenty-nine on the Billboard album
chart, an entry position never reached by an album in Spanish, reaching sales figures in the United States that
led it to become a gold record.
In mid-October 1995, Luis Miguel released the album El concierto in Spain (more than a million and a half
international sales and a gold record in the United States), a summary of the previous tour throughout the
continent (attended by a total of more than a million people) and the sixteen nights in a row with the "no
tickets" sign at the National Auditorium in the Aztec capital in August 1994. The series of concerts brought
together more than one hundred and sixty thousand people, publishing the CD and a video and making a
special for television.
That same year, Luis Miguel was invited to participate in the tribute gala to Frank Sinatra on his eightieth
anniversary, being the only Latino artist present as the main star. In 1996 he took part in the original
soundtrack of The Hunchback of Notre Dame interpreting the theme Sueña and recorded his album Nothing is
the same, with the single Dame as a preview.
