Armando Manzanero

Armando Manzanero, known for being a Mexican-Mayan musician, was born in the year 1935. As a skilled musician, Armando was knowledgeable in almost all the fields of music. That included singing, composing, and producing. Generally, people saw him as a premier Mexican romantic composer of the postwar era, making him one of the most successful musicians of Latin America.

Manzanero started his career early. In 1950, when he was just 15, he composed one of his first masterpieces, Nunca en el Mundo or known as Never in the World. That song, alone, was translated to at least twenty-one versions in various languages. True to his title, he was able to compose more than four hundred songs. One of the earliest awards to his credit would be the Excellence Award at the 1993 Lo Nuestro Awards. Just recently, he earned the Billboard Latin Music Lifetime Achievement Award. Needless to say, fans will dearly miss him.
