Francisco Céspedes

Cuban-born singer/songwriter Francisco Céspedes left his career as a physician to get involved in popular music. The talented artist decided to stay in Mexico while visiting the country along with the Cuban Modern Music Orquestra. In 1992, Luis Miguel recorded Cespedes' song, "Pensar en Ti," and featured it on his album Aries, and "Que Tu Te Vas" for Nada Es Igual; the songs were good enough to draw the attention of Warner Music. In 1997, Céspedes participated in Viña del Mar Festival, representing Mexico with "Hablo de Ti" and issuing his debut album, Vida Loca, that same year. In 1998, the singer and composer joined Presuntos Implicados, recording "Nadie Como Tú." Later, Céspedes made Donde Esta la Vida, recorded in Mexico and the U.S. and produced by Juan Carlos Paz y Puente. ~ Drago Bonacich
