Cepillín, whose real name was Ricardo González Gutiérrez, was a beloved Mexican clown, singer, and television host who became a household name across Latin America thanks to his unique ability to connect with children through both humor and music. Originally a dentist by profession, he adopted clown makeup to help his young patients feel more comfortable, which eventually evolved into a full-fledged entertainment career. In the 1970s and 1980s, Cepillín rose to fame with a mix of playful songs, educational content, and variety shows that featured a charming, family-friendly style.
Known as "El Payasito de la Tele" (The Little TV Clown), Cepillín recorded numerous albums filled with catchy tunes like “La Feria de Cepillín” and “Tomás,” and he released content well into later decades, including collaborations with his son, Cepi. His music and shows were staples for generations of Latin American kids, blending whimsical storytelling with positive messages. Cepillín remained active in entertainment and beloved by fans until his passing in 2021.
