Cuco Sánchez was a beloved Mexican singer-songwriter who made a big splash in the world of ranchera music. Born in 1921 in Altamira, Tamaulipas, Cuco (whose real name was José del Refugio Sánchez Saldaña) had a career that spanned several decades. He wasn't just a performer - he was also a prolific composer, penning over 200 songs that have become staples of Mexican music.
Cuco's most famous tune is probably "Fallaste Corazón," which has been covered by tons of other artists. But he had plenty of other hits too, like "La Cama de Piedra" and "Anillo de Compromiso." His style was pure ranchera, with all the emotion and storytelling that the genre is known for. Cuco passed away in 2000, but his music lives on as an important part of Mexico's cultural heritage.
