Bosé grew up immersed in the arts, with Pablo Picasso and Ernest Hemingway as family friends, the young South American started his career as an actor. With the help of Camilo Blanes, Bosé released a number of singles and albums after signing with CBS in 1977, although didn’t earn his first hit until 1985 with the single “Bandido”. In 1986 the singer signed with Warner Bros. who issued the albums “Salamandra” (1986) and “XXX” (1987), which became Bosé’s most introspective works to date.
Subsequently, Bosé released the albums “Los chicos no IIoran” in 1990 and “Directo 90” which despite being popular still saw the musician finding his feet and maturing as an artist. By 1993 however Bosé’s music became an outlet for his political commentary with the release of “Bajo el Signo de Caín” (1983) which discussed such topics as Yugoslavia, climate change and the perils stardom. The platinum selling album was followed by “Laberinto” in 1995, which he supported by an extensive tour of Spain and Latin America.
Bosé released the album “11 Maneras de Ponerse un Sombrero” in 1997 before his greatest hits album “Lo major de Bosé” in 1999. The new millennium brought a string of new albums that cemented the popularity of the singer including “Sereno” in 2002, which earned Bosé his first Latin Grammy for Best Male Pop Performance.
“Velvetina” (2005) marked a move into the dance pop genre and 2007’s “Papito” saw the singer collaborate with a host of artists to cover several of hit notable hits, including the single “Como un Lobo”. Bosé has continues to release regular albums including “Cardio”, “Papitwo” and “Amo” constantly pushing the barriers to what’s acceptable in modern pop, through his use of politics and sexual imagery.
Luis Miguel González better known by his stage Miguel Bosé has been delighting and entertaining crowds with his own blend of latin pop for almost forty years now. The Grammy award winner has had a huge career is not content with resting on his laurels just yet, you get the impression he is an artist who truly believes as long as the fan's remain dedicated, he will continue to tour.
He steps out onto stage tonight and greets the audience as if they were old friends, you half expect him to go around and shake everybody's hand individually. Although he is no longer a recording artist, he has a large back catalogue to rely on and the band accompanying him tonight know the material with precise detail. There is not a note dropped all evening and despite Miguel's growing age, he has attained a lot of his vocal capabilities. The man is a huge part of latin pop history so I would encourage you to see him before he takes an inevitable retirement.
