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 hermosa canción. Con todo el perdon de Vicente Fernandez, Jorge Negrete y compañía... Javier solis es el rey! Si señor.

  • @juandral.La voz de Javier Solís fue única, inimitable, sus bajos, sus altos, su vibrato, eran excepcionales. A pesar de que esta canción la grabaron otros artistas, Javier tenía la virtud de darle con su voz, valor agregado. Aquello de que segundas partes nunca fueron buenas, no aplicó nunca en las versiones de este gran mexicano, que nos dejó físicamente para irse a la eternidad, a lo grande como: Gardel, Mario Lanza, pero a muy temprana edad, a los 35 años.

  • no puede ser 2 años de no probar alcohol y que pedo me estoy poniendo con este canciononoooon !!!solo por hoy¡¡ y mañana ya Dios dira

  • En la música de Javier Solis hablan todas las pasiones y todas las emociones humanas, alegría, tristeza, amor, odio, espanto, esperanza, con matices infinitos, y sin embargo, enteramente abstractos, sin nada que los distinga unos de otros con claridad. Es una forma sin materia, como un mundo de espíritus aéreos.

  • un grande de laq canción mexicana. Sin ningun lugar a dudas.......

  • me gusta mucho la forma de ponerle ese sentimiento gracias javiersito donde estes

  • Ayudame, ayudame a olvidarlo.... por favor.

  • @juandral Talento sin igual el de Gabriel Siria Levario,"Javier Solís", que después de probar de todo: lavando autos, limpiando chimeneas, caletero, lustrador de zapatos, vendedor, plomero, etc., probó suerte en el boxeo. En un combate donde le dieron hasta con el tobo, lo vio Pedro Infante y le dijo que cambiara de profesión, se dedicó en primera instancia a cantar sus canciones hasta comenzar a brillar con luz propia y en que forma. Murió el 19 de abril de 1966 a los 35 años.

  • @payasol1 perdon compa pero como esta eso perdone mi ignorancia
