A singer whose 1985 debut 'Bella' set the tone for decades of heartfelt Spanish-language songs.
If you want to hear Mijares at his most straightforward, try 'Corazón Salvaje'. For something a bit lighter, 'Poco a Poco' works.
Mijares has been singing romantic ballads since the mid-80s, and his voice just fits that style, it's smooth and direct. Songs like 'Corazón Salvaje' and 'Te Prometí' have stuck around because they feel lived-in, not overdone. The 1998 telenovela track 'El Privilegio de Amar' became one of those songs people just know.
He started with classical guitar as a kid, influenced by his mother's piano playing. His first album in 1985 had 'Bella', and he kept putting out records like 'Un Hombre Sin Suerte' through the late 80s. By 1998, 'El Privilegio de Amar' showed he'd settled into a reliable presence in Spanish-language pop.
Keep it compact: a lyric you come back to, a live memory, or the part of the catalog you would point someone toward first.
