Rafael Martos, Raphael, was born in Linares (Jaén) and at the age of nine he won the prize for the best child voice in Europe at the Salzburg Festival in Austria. His professional career began in 1962, when he won the first prize at the Benidorm Festival. His voice and his particular way of interpreting have been his main weapons to be able to remain, year after year, as an undisputed figure among Spanish-speaking singers, with a genuine and very personal stamp, conquering by his own right a privileged place in the world musical panorama.
His recording history is impressive, as attested by his 326 Gold records, 49 Platinum records, and the Uranium record awarded for sales of more than 50 million copies. He has recorded more than 50 full-length albums in Spanish, as well as others in Italian, French, German, English and Japanese.
