Luis Mariano, born as Mariano Eusebio González y García on August 13, 1914, in Irun, Spain, is synonymous with the golden age of operetta and French song. Mariano's career began to flourish after he moved to France, where he found his fame skyrocketing following World War II. Known for his exceptional tenor voice, Mariano became an emblematic figure in the operetta scene, particularly for his roles in productions composed by Francis Lopez.

Mariano's most iconic role was that of Vincent in the operetta "La Belle de Cadix," which marked the beginning of a prolific partnership with Lopez. His charm and vocal prowess made him the beloved "Prince of Light Music," enchanting audiences not just on stage but also through his recordings and cinema, where he equally shone. Throughout the 1950s and the early 1960s, Mariano recorded numerous albums and singles, many of which have been lovingly remastered and continue to captivate new generations of listeners with classics like "México," "Canastos," "María Elena," and the enthralling "C'est magnifique." His legacy in music is marked by a combination of romantic ballads and lively tunes that evoke the spirit of a bygone, yet timeless, era of musical theatre. Luis Mariano passed away on July 14, 1970, but his voice and legacy endure as a cornerstone of classic French and Spanish-language music.
