Braulio

Braulio Antonio García Bautista, mononymously known as Braulio, is a Spanish melodic singer-songwriter who enjoyed great popularity in both Spain and Latin America in the 1970s. Born on July 22, 1946, in Santa María de Guía de Gran Canaria, Canary Islands, he made his official debut at a local festival in 1971 with the song "Mi Amigo el Pastor." Déjalo Volver, his first studio album, appeared in 1975 and was followed by a series of award-winning performances at the Benidorm and Alcobendas festivals. In 1976, he represented Spain at the Eurovision Song Contest with the song "Sobran las Palabras," eventually finishing in 16th place. After winning the Gaviota de Plata award at the 1979 Viña del Mar Festival with the song "A Tu Regreso a Casa," Braulio officially launched his career in Latin America by signing with CBS Records and releasing the full-length En la Cárcel de Tu Piel in 1985. Preceded by the chart-topping single "En Bancarrota," 1986's Lo Bello y lo Prohibido reached Number 1 on Billboard's Latin Pop Albums chart and earned a Grammy nomination for Best Latin Pop Performance. Subsequently, Braulio relocated to the United States, where he recorded the LPs Sobrevivientes del Amor (1990), Entre el Amor y el Deseo (1992), Amar Es lo Que Importa (1995), Distintos (2001), and El Regreso (2002). Sie7e Décadas, his 20th album, appeared in 2016.
