Nino Bravo (1944-1973) was an international success in Spain and especially in Latin America, where he sang songs that won him millions of fans and then bans. He died at 28 in a car crash outside of Madrid. In all he produced three albums. In Ayelo, Spain there’s a museum about him. Gerry Hadden has more.

    I grew up listening to Nino Bravo in the radio ( I am originally from the Dom.Republic). He died in 1973, I was only 7 years old but his music was on the radio all the time. Just the other day my husband and I were watching some of his videos on You Tube and ended up crying just taking in the amazing, beatiful voice he had. It kind of stroke me that he was only 28 years old when he died. He would’ve been even a bigger legend should he’d lived a longer life. Thanks for introducing him to a new generation all over the worl!!!

    Love Nino Bravo.  One of the great voices of the 20th century.  I too was young when he died, and miss his extraordinary voice to this day.  It was wonderful to hear him on the radio again, just filling the room as I remembered from my childhood.  Gracias PRI!
