LU.cho Gatica

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Luis Gatica better known in show business as Lucho Gatica, is a famous bolero singer from .

Biography

Gatica was born in Rancagua in 1928. He and his brother Arturo were struggling singers before they released their first album, in 1949, when Gatica was twenty one years old.

Chileans generally experienced a change in music taste during the 1950s, when bolero music overtook tango as Chileans' preferred music genre for some time. Singers like 's , and Mexicans Leo Marini and Elvira Rios, among others, were very popular during that time there. So were Xavier Cugat and his orchestra, which included Puerto Rican Bobby Capo. These singers Lucho Gatica. would influence Gatica.

Gatica's first disc, 1951's Me Importas Tu (You Matter to Me) became a mega hit across Latin America, opening many doors for Gatica. He followed that with 1952s Contigo en Ia Distancia (With You in the Distance).

Gatica recorded his version of Consuelo Vehizquez's Besame Mucho (Kiss Me a Lot) in 1953, year in which he produced two more albums, Las Muchachas de Ia Plaza Espana (The Girls from the Spain Square) and Sinceridad (Sincerity).

By 1957, Gatica moved to , a country that would become of great importance in his life. In Mexico, he released No me Platiques Mas (Don't Talk to me Anymore), Tu me Acostumbraste (You Accustomed Me) and Voy a Apagar Ia Luz (I'm Turning the Lights Off), which was released in 1959.

In 1956, Gatica's songs were recorded in North America on LP albums for the first time by Capital Records ('Capitol' of the World series). Three albums were released within 14 months by Capitol. The third one in that group with Capitol was "El Gran Gatica," which featured such songs as "Somos," "Sabra Dios," and "Si Me Comprendieras," to name three. One of the three Lucho Gatica albums released in 1958 year were greatest hits compilations; the third was named Envenenados (Poisoned). He also recorded a ~ong entiled "Encadenados" (Chained (we are)).

Gatica had important changes in his personal life after arriving in Mexico for the first time. He decided to become a permanent resident of that North American country, and married Puerto Rican actress Mapita Cortes, who had been a celebrity in Mexico (and Puerto Rico) for some years, and who also resided in Mexico. The couple had offspring, including two sons actually named Luis and Alfredo Gatica. Luis went on to become a telenovela and rock star during the 1980s and Alfredo (Alfie) became a music entrepreneur. Gatica remarried an American woman and had one daughter with her, as well. One of Gatica's last known releases was 1963's Recuerdos de Amor (Memories ofLove).

It is estimated that Gatica has released more than 90 recordings. He has toured a vast portion of the world, having made concerts in Europe, the Middle East and Asia.

In 2007 Luis signed a record deal with Aurafonic Records and will soon release a new album with his greatest hits and new material never recorded by the singer.
