Armando Manzanero
Armando Manzanero was a Mexican musician, singer, composer, and producer, widely regarded as the premier Mexican romantic composer of the postwar era. He stands among the most successful composers Latin America has produced.
Orígenes
Active from 1957 until his death in 2020, Manzanero built a decades-long career as both a performer and, above all, a composer whose songs were recorded around the world.
El sonido
His music is the bolero, lush, romantic, and elegantly melodic, delivered with the craft of a songwriter who understood the architecture of a love song.
Legado
He received a Grammy Lifetime Achievement Award in 2014 and served as president of the Mexican Society of Authors and Composers, a measure of his standing among peers. His reputation as a romantic composer is firmly established across Latin America.
Canción insignia
Somos Novios
"Somos Novios" is his signature song, a bolero so enduring it crossed into English as "It's Impossible" and became a global standard.
