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

  • Que bella cancion :)

  • ESTA CANCION ESTA DE POCA

  • estoy totalmente de acuerdo con yepetin81 refiriendome a eso de que Pablo Montero saco un disco en homenaje a Javier Solis es efectivamente como comparar un ferrari con una bicicleta.

  • @MVEGAJIMENEZ

    Pues si tienes razon en parte...

    Pero comparar a los grandes Infante, Tintan, Solis, Etc. con los actuales... eso es lo que si enoja...

    De que fueron los grandes, no hay duda... y cualquiera de ellos, canta infinitamente mejor, que la mierda actual... incluso que cualquiera posterior a su epoca...

    Ni chente, ni nada...

    Incluso Jose Jose, al lado de cualquiera de ellos... no tiene nada que ofrecer.

  • @yepetin81 Ni madres, las bicis aunque humildes, siguen transportandote...

    Ese pablo montero es una kk... compararlo con una bicicleta es insultarlas...

    los discos de pablo solo sirven para nivelar un taburete.

  • Asi me gusta que te enojes yepetino81 porque el que se enoja pierde, y si te enojas, es porque sabes que digo la verdad de que Javier Solis es el rey de la cancion mexicana, y no pedro infante como algunos creen. Pedro Infante es uno de los reyes del cine mexicano pero no de la cancion.

  • @ladylady82 es de la Sonora, pero Javier la canta regio

  • No espipiriberto, no solamente nos vamos a burlar de ramoncito, sino que le vamos a decir que no sabe ni de lo que esta hablando. Yo le sugiero que lea la biografia de Javier Solis ya que los que conocen de musica y cine han dicho que Pedro Infante es el rey de la actuacion pero que el senor de sombras es el rey de la cancion!!! Arriba Javier Solis y abajo pero muy abajo los Fernadez. Amen.

  • @yepetin81 jajajajajajajajaja ....Javier Solís el mejor cantante de todos los tiempos en México después de Pedro Infante.

  • AL LUPILLO RIVERA QUE LO PONGAN EN COHETE DE LA NASA Y SE VALLA A LA CHINGADA FUERA DE ESTE PLANETA CANTA PAL LADO DE LA CHINGADA.....JAJAJA
