Javier Solis became known as one of the most recognized mariachi solo artists in Mexico; he was the first to sing songs in a style now known as boleros-rancheras. His first hit, "Lloraras," came in 1952, and he reached international acclaim in 1957, making appearances in the United States, Central America, and South America. He sang boleros typically associated with trio music but was accompanied by mariachis, also adding waltzes and tangos to his repertoire as a prolific interpreter of many styles of music. He began an acting career in 1959, filming more than 20 movies prior to his death at the age of 33. ~ Zac Johnson Wikipedia
