Emmanuel
Emmanuel (born Jesús Emmanuel Acha Martinez, April 16, 1955, in Mexico City) is a Mexican singer who debuted in the 1970s. He is the son of the late Argentinian-born bullfighter Raúl Acha"Rovira" and his first wife, Spanish singer Conchita Martinez. Emmanuel's songs are usually ballads, which became popular during the 1980s. His fourth and most successful album to date, Íntimamente (Intimately), was written by the famous Spaniard ballad composer Manuel Alejandro in collaboration with Ana Magdalena. It was released in 1980 and had the following seven hit songs: The remaining songs on the album are "Esa Triste Guitarra" ("That Sad Guitar"), "Caprichosa María" ("Capricious Maria"), and "Eso Era La Vida" ("That Was Life"), the last of which is the only song on the album not composed by Alejandro-Magdalena. His follow up albums also enjoyed success with memorable love songs. Emmanuel continues to tour throughout Latin America backed by bands that have included musicians from the United States, most notably guitarist Dick Smith of (Earth Wind & Fire, Kenny Loggins, and Air Supply).
