The story behind
The song *Dame un beso* by Cristian Castro, with a duration of 4:43, is from the album *El Deseo de Oír Tu Voz*, released in January 1996. This album, the Mexican singer's fourth studio effort, was produced by Daniel Freiberg and marked the end of his tenure with the Fonovisa Records label. Within this work, the song *Morelia* is also found, which had previously been the main theme of a telenovela and had appeared on the 1994 album *El Camino del Alma*. Two singles from this album, *Amor* and *Amarte a Ti*, reached the top of the Billboard Hot Latin Tracks and Billboard Latin Pop Airplay charts during 1996.
Cristian Castro, whose real name is Cristian Sainz Valdés Castro, was born in Mexico City in 1974, into a family with a strong connection to the entertainment world. He is the son of renowned actors Verónica Castro and Manuel "El Loco" Valdés. His artistic heritage extends to his maternal uncle, José Alberto "El Güero" Castro, a producer of telenovelas for Televisa, and on his father's side, to figures such as the comedian Germán Valdés, known as Tin Tán, and Ramón Valdés, remembered for his role as Don Ramón in *El Chavo del Ocho*. Although he began his career in acting, music was his true calling, a discipline that catapulted him to international fame. Throughout his career, he has had 29 songs reach the top of the Top Latin Songs charts, being recognized as the third most relevant Spanish-speaking artist in Billboard's history, with estimated worldwide sales of 12 million records and an extensive record of over 65 gold and 31 platinum albums.
