Artist Biography
In the ’90s and early 2000s, Mexican pop vocalist Manuel Mijares rose from backup singer to adult contemporary music superstar, thanks to his suave stage persona and powerful crooning.

∙ Amor y Rock ’N’ Roll, the singer’s 1987 album, was his global breakthrough, with the ballad “No Se Murio el Amor” hitting No. 1 in Mexico and going Top 10 in Japan.
∙ He’s one of the few Latin singers to have won the coveted gold medal at the World Popular Song Festival, taking the 1987 title for “El Rey de la Noche.”
∙ Que Nada Nos Separe, from 1991, was his best-selling album to date, spawning the No. 1 Mexican chart smashes “Que Nada Nos Separe” and “Persona a Persona.”
