Joselito, often hailed as "El Pequeño Ruiseñor" which translates to "The Little Nightingale," is one of Spain's most cherished child stars and singers of the mid-20th century. Born José Jiménez Fernández on February 11, 1943, in Beas de Segura, Jaén, he rose to fame at an extraordinarily young age and became widely recognized for his distinctive, pure voice that captivated audiences both in his native Spain and internationally.

During the 1950s and 1960s, Joselito was a celebrated figure in Spanish cinema and music, known for his performances in films where he often sang, which further propelled his musical career. His angelic timbre and the ability to emotionally convey the essence of traditional Spanish music, such as coplas and flamenco tones, won the hearts of millions. Although he faded from the limelight as he grew older, Joselito's early work remained influential and cherished by fans of Spanish music. In recent years, many of his classics such as "El emigrante" and "Campanera" have been remastered, allowing both old and new generations to appreciate the nostalgic beauty of his voice and the rich cultural heritage of his repertoire.
