Julio Jaramillo

One of Latin America's most influential vocalists, Julio Jaramillo continues to inspire Latin singers years after his death. During his relatively brief 20-year career, he recorded thousands of songs -- boleros, valses, pasillos, tangos, and even rancheras. His classics include "El Alma En Los Labios," "Cinco Centavitos," "Flores Negras," "Guayaquil De Mis Amores," "Rosario De Besos," "Licor Bendito," and his most famous tune, "Nuestro Juramento." His contributions to Ecuadorian music made Jaramillo a national hero whose records still fill the jukeboxes in his native Guayaquil.
