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

  • No estamos viendo qien es mejor, si Luis Miguel o el original Javier Solis..

    Javier Solis no tiene comparaciones, Luis Miguel lo único qe hace es revivir lo qe estos grandes hombres hicieron en sus tiempos.. Si no hubiera sido por Luis Miguel yo nunca hubiera escuchado éstas canciones !

  • succiona esto luismi esto es calidad al maximo tu solo lo echaste a perder

  • @cima850109 mejor callate hijo de p_t_

  • @megacytron vete a la mierda

  • megacytron debo interpretar que te estas durmiendo porque estas crudo o que eres de los tipos que se tragan toda la cagada que producen ahora las compañías productoras de música, pura bazofia. Esta melodía es para cerrar los ojos, dejar navegar la imaginación y disfrutar la voz lánguida de JAVIER porque así es el ritmo de la canción, Y a ultimas creo que no vales ni el comentario.

  • También suena hermosa con los Tres Ases.

  • ya me estoy durmiendo que es esto

  • Increíble que tanta tristeza de exprese de manera tan bella...

  • Qué voz tan divina, bellísima letra, inigualable señorón Javier Solís !

  • jaja jefe
