A major figure in regional Mexican music whose songs still fill dance floors years after his death.
For a sense of his range, listen to the playful 'La Pulga' and then something like 'Como Me Duele'. They're from the same guy, just different sides of the room.
Elizalde's music captured the humor and heart of banda with tracks like 'La Pulga' from his 2002 album 'Corazón de Oro'. His songs like 'Que Vivan Las Mujeres' and 'Con Toda El Alma' continue to get regular play in the genre. That staying power says something about how he connected with listeners.
He started singing locally in Sonora and released his first album in 1996. By the late 1990s and early 2000s, albums like 'Sueño de Amor' and 'Vencedor' had made him a major name. He was killed in Reynosa in 2006.
Keep it compact: a lyric you come back to, a live memory, or the part of the catalog you would point someone toward first.
