Biography

Dolores Hidalgo, Guanajuato, Mexico (1948 – 1973)

José Alfredo Jiménez (born in Dolores Hidalgo, Guanajuato, Mexico on 9 January 1926 - died 23 November 1973 in Mexico City, Mexico) was a legendary Mexican singer-songwriter in the ranchera style. His songs are considered part of the Mexican musical heritage and comparable, for instance, to what Woody Guthrie meant to American folk music.

The restaurant where he worked as a young man, “La Sirena” was frequented by Andres Huesca, who heard some of his compositions of the then young singer, among which was “Cuando el Destino” and “Yo”.
