Luis Miguel González Bosé (born April 3, 1956), usually known as
Miguel Bosé, is a Spanish pop new wave musician and actor.Bosé was
born in San Fernando Hospital in Panama City, Panama, the son of
Italian actress Lucia Bosè (1931â€"2020) and Spanish bullfighter Luis
Miguel DominguÃn. He is also a cousin to the late Carmen Ordóñez, a
Spanish celebrity in the bullfighting world. Bosé grew up surrounded
by art and culture: Pablo Picasso and Ernest Hemingway were close
friends of the family. The film director Luchino Visconti was his
godfather while Pablo Picasso was the godfather to his sister Paola
Dominguin.Propelled by his famous family and their friends, Bosé
started a career as an actor in 1971, taking part in various movies.
He quickly found work on the basis of his talent and good looks rather
than his family name. He studied acting as well as dancing and
singing. Due to the lack of acting opportunities, he started exploring
his talents as a singer in 1975. With the assistance of Camilo Blanes
he recorded his first singles. Two years later, in 1977, Bosé signed
a contract with CBS Records and he remained with them until 1984.
Between 1977 and 1982, Bosè was a major teen idol in Italy, Spain,
Southern Europe and in all Latin America. He had 7 top ten hits that
earned him a secure spot in every televised song festival held in the
aforementioned countries. By 1983 his star had severely waned in
Italy, and he rarely performed there again until the 2000s, retreating
to Latin American markets instead.From 1983 to 1985, he participated
in the "Llena Tu Cabeza De Rock" television specials on Puerto Rican
WAPA-TV. In 1985 he enjoyed his greatest success with "Amante bandido"
which topped the charts all over Latin America and in Spain. The video
to that song also became one of the most widely seen Spanish music
videos, with Bose playing both a Superman style superhero and an
Indiana Jones type of adventurer. In Italy, where he had a parallel
career singing in both Italian and English his greatest success would
be in 1994 by winning Festivalbar, the second largest musical event
after the Sanremo Music Festival), for the third time.
