Leo Dan

There he recorded Mary es mi amor, Con los brazos cruzados, Siempre estoy pensando en ella, Cómo poder saber si te amo and Será posible amor, among others. His style started in the new wave and gradually moved towards pop rock and romantic ballad. But in the 70s, he took a turn: he started recording rancheras, and in Mexico, he hit big with songs like Esa pared and Cuando un amor se va. He also converted from Catholicism to evangelism during that time, and from then on, he started composing songs with evangelical content.From the 80s onwards, he split his life between Argentina, Mexico and the United States, where he eventually settled.

In the 90s, he entered politics within Peronism, trying to reach the government of Santiago del Estero, although without success. His music, however, continued to circulate: his songs were covered by artists from different eras — for example, the Mexican band Café Tacvba recorded Cómo te extraño mi amor. Some of his compositions were translated into other languages, and several ended up becoming football chants in Argentina.Throughout his career, he wrote 1,500 songs and sold 40 million albums. In 2012, he received a Latin Grammy Award for musical excellence. And between 2018 and 2019, one of his songs was included in Roma, the film by Alfonso Cuarón that won the Oscar and the Golden Lion, which brought him a new wave of visibility across Latin America and brought him closer to Hollywood.
