Dyango

José Gómez Romero, artistically known as Dyango (born March 5, 1940), nicknamed "The Voice of Love", is a Spanish musician and singer of romantic music. He is widely regarded as one of the most romantic Spanish singers, and one of the best performers on the international level. He has sold over 20 million albums worldwide.

Dyango is one of the most popular and most respected singers and one of the most romantic voices in Latin America and Spain. His name is due to the Romani (Gypsy) guitarist Django Reinhardt. Two of his sons, Marcos Llunas and Jordi, are also singers.

Dyango was born on March 5, 1940, in Barcelona, but was inscribed by his father on May 8, and thus appears as his date of birth in official documents. José Gómez Romero adopted Dyango as a stage name (taken from the guitarist of jazz gypsy Django Reinhardt), by which he is known and debuted at the Duero Song Festival (1965). In his personal life, the artist is married and is the father of four children, two of whom are singers Marcos Llunas and Jordi.

In 1969 he published his first album that bears his name and the following year he traveled to Argentina where he starred alongside Ginamaría Hidalgo in the film El Mundo es de los jóvenes, while editing an album with the same name. This step would open the door to the Latin American market.

Discographically he started in Zafiro and in 1974 signed with EMI. His first album for this company was in 1975 and was successful in Latin America, in contrast to the little impact made by his music in Spain.

In 1976, Dyango won the prize (Sirenita de Oro) for the best performer and the best song of the Benidorm Song Festival with the song "Si yo fuera él". After winning in that festival, his career would grow both nationally and internationally.

Since the recording of the tango "Nostalgia" in 1976, Dyango consolidated his conquest of the Spanish market of the romantic ballad. In 1980, Dyango represented Spain in the OTI Festival 1980 with the song "Querer y perder" written by Ray Girado, winning second place.

Between 1983 and 1984 he launched to the market the discs Bienvendo to the Club and Al fin Alone to great success in Argentina and Colombia. In 1988, he honored the music of Buenos Aires, with his album Tango, becoming one of the few non-Rio de Janeiro artists to be accepted and blessed by the environment deltango, where he recorded a great friendship with Roberto Goyeneche. In 1985 he recorded the song "Por ese hombre" with the duo Pimpinela.
