Encyclopedic overview
Luis Miguel Gallego Basteri ( pronounced [ˈlwis miˈɣel ɣaˈʝeɣo βasˈteɾi]; born 19 April 1970) is a Mexican singer and record producer. Born in Puerto Rico to parents of Spanish and Italian descent, he is often referred to as "El Sol de México" ("The Sun of Mexico"). Luis Miguel has sung in multiple genres and styles, including pop songs, ballads, boleros, tangos, jazz, big band, and mariachi. He is also recognized as the only Latin singer of his generation not to cross over to the Anglo market during the "Latin Explosion" in the 1990s.
Despite recording in Spanish and Italian, Miguel continued to be the best-selling Latin artist in the 1990s and was credited for popularizing the bolero genre within the mainstream market. He has sold around 60 million records worldwide , making him one of the best-selling Latin music artists.
