Javier Solís (September 1, 1931, Mexico City, Mexico[1] April 19, 1966, Mexico City, Mexico) was a popular Mexican singer of boleros and rancheras, and film actor of the middle 20th century.

Born Gabriel Siria Levario, Javier Solis became known as one of the most recognized Mariachi solo artists in Mexico. Coming from humble beginnings, at a young age Solis had to drop out of school to help support his family. He trained as an amateur boxer for six years with aspirations of turning professional, but quit after his father urged him to choose a more "decent" career. The young man used to sing in local competitions for small prizes (such as a pair of new shoes), but was eventually banned from participating because he so dominated the competition.

At age 16, Solis went to Puebla, Mexico to sing with Mariachi Metepec, but it wasn't until years later when Julito Rodriguez and Alfredo Gil of the trio Los Panchos heard him singing at a local bar that he got his first break as a recording artist. They took him to audition with CBS records where he signed a recording contract and cut his first album in 1950. His first hit, "Lloraras," came two years later and prompted his producer Felipe Valdes Leal to give him the name Javier Solis. The vocalist came to international acclaim in 1957, making appearances in the United States, Central, and South America. Solis was the first to sing songs in a style now known as "Boleros-Rancheras." He sang boleros typically associated with trio music but now accompanied by mariachis, also adding waltzes and tangos to his repertoire as a prolific interpreter of many styles of music.

Not content with simply performing as a recording artist, Solis began his acting career in 1959; filming more than 20 movies with stars such as Maria Victoria, Lola Beltran, and Luis Aguilar. Javier Solis died in 1966 at age 33 from complications resulting from gall bladder surgery, leaving behind a brief but memorable musical legacy. ~ Zac Johnson, All Music Guide

  • @TheNinomexico Disculpa la observación pero no lo hago con el fin de fastidiar. Resulta que el mariachi que acompaña a Javier en esta grabación es el Mariachi Nacional de don Arcadio Elías, que de hecho lo acompañaba con bastante frecuencia en sus grabaciones. Desconozco la razón, pero el Mariachi Vargas acompañó muy, pero muy poco a Javier en sus grabaciones. Saludos.

  • @khol1989 Te equivocas. Javier Solís SÍ grabó con el Mariachi Vargas, aunque es cierto que fueron muy pocas canciones. Gorda, María, El toro y la luna, Voy, son algunas de las poquísimas rolas que Javier grabó con Vargas. No estoy seguro pero parece que Llorarás también la grabó con Vargas o por lo menos se oye la trompeta de Miguel Martínez.

  • señores ustedes que nacera algui con esta voz algun dia que cante con tanto sentimientoi nacio con su estrella con su detino ser inmortal saludos a los admiradores de javier solis

  • gracias MPpelon que linda musica hermano saluods desde chicago ya estoy palneando una noche bohemia con esta linda musica dios te bendiga por subir esta bella musica

  • @TheNinomexico Javier Solís nunca grabó con el Mariachi Vargas de Tecalitlán

  • Cheken por favor a los 2 minutos 08 segundos de la cancion y luego me dicen si este país ha dado un mejor cantante de musica popular mis cuates

  • Frank Snatra dijo de la voz de Javier, que era una de las mejores que habia escuchado, cheken el color de su voz opersitica, los medios tonos y analicen si existe hoy dia una asi. Lean su biografia y vean que es un ejemplo de superacion para todos los mexicanos. Que chingona voz, que composicion del maestro Lara que Mariachi el de Vargas

  • chilango, esa verga 'tuya le estaría muy bien en la boca de tu hija, que el incesto les ha de caer muy bien
