Luis Aguilé died in Madrid last October 10 at the age of 73, after his long fight against the cancer. The singer and composer is an author of songs as popular as Cuando salí de Cuba, La Chatunga, Dile, Juanita Banana or Es una lata el trabajar. He was born in Buenos Aires in 1936 - in 1990 he obtained the Spanish nationality - and he carried out in Spain the most of his artistic career. In 1963 he moves his habitual residence to our country, the same year in which he achieved a great success with the single “Dile”. Along his musical career, he has recorded more than 800 songs and he has composed 400.

Although in his lyrics, the love was a priority, the optimism, the humor, and even some songs of social or political content had their place in his music. When Luis Aguilé left Cuba, in 1967, he wrote one of his more known songs, Cuando salí de Cuba, in which it was warning that the government of Castro would be "a dictatorship". Recently he was referring to this song in the Daily Profile: "There [in Cuba] I won a lot of money because it was a juvenile idol. But one month before going out they decreed a law that it was saying that it was not possible to change the dollar and not to be possible to extract money. I had two interviews with the Che Guevara and he authorized me to withdraw a small quantity (…). With the money that had I started giving things to my friends. I furnished a girl’s house, I bought the wheels of the car for a guy. And I went away only with my clothes. They did not leave me to extract even a ring. This revolution was very cruel …”

Besides the music, the artist also devoted himself in the TV world as a showman and presenter, and to the literature world, signing several stories and novels. In the last times he was preparing an operetta dedicated to Madrid.
