Imágenes was a Peruvian rock/pop band conformed by the now actor Diego Bertie (vocals), Aurelio "Chifa" García Miró(drums), Dante Albertini(bass) and Hernán Campos(guitar).

The musical debut of the now actor Diego Bertie was in 1986 when he was a student of the Universidad del Pacifico, he join his class teammates Aurelio Garcia Miró, Dante Albertini and Hernan Campos,, they iniciated the band when they were in High School, and they called it Imágenes. before Diego was in vocals, the lead singer was the extremely recognized Peruvian Cheff, Gastón Acurio, he left the band because he went to Spain to study, but the other 3 members kept the band alive and Diego joined to make it real. At the end of 1986, they recorded their first song and first hit, "Los Buenos Tiempos", it was a hit during summer of 1987.

A curious thing is that Imágenes almost didn't do any concert. Their concerts can be "counted with the fingers" because for their members Imágenes was only a hobbie. The most important concert was when they opened the show to Hombres G, when the performed at Colegio San Agustín in October 1987. In August, 1988 they released their first and only LP called Nuestra Versión, which contained the hit songs "Los Buenos Tiempos", "Caras Nuevas", "Una Vez Más", "Más Humano", "Sacamos Las Fotos" and "Quién Llora". in June, 1988 they released "Caras Nuevas", their new single that also became a hit in Perú, this single had a very successful video-clip.

In Nuestra Versión, Roxana Valdivieso participates in two songs: "Sacamos las fotos", performed by Roxana and Diego and "Más humano", where she sang in the chorus of the songs. Jean Pierre Magnet also participates playing the saxofon in the songs "Quien llora" and "No sé que voy a hacer". In 1988 they released the 3rd single "Una Vez Más", this song was a very successful hit as "Los Buenos Tiempos" and "Caras Nuevas" were.

In December, 1988, Imágenes dissolved because no one of the members worked hard to make the band alive, because they were dedicated to other things, like acting as in the case of Diego. In 3 years together, Imágenes had three successful hits and 3 videoclips, being a very influential band.

In 1989, Diego attempted to begin a solo career. In the 90's, Diego's acting career was very successful, he was acting in a lot of Novels and Mini-series. In 1997 Diego released "Fuego Azul", his only solo album with the hits songs "Que Dificil Es Amar" which had an awesome video-clip, "El Fuego Que No Ves" and "La Noche", he did a lot of presentations in "La Noche de Barranco, but his priority was his successful acting career.

In 1999, Imágenes reunited for one an only last concert after 11 years since the band break-up. The concert was held at the Hard Rock Cafe of Lima, it was a very nostalgic concert, because all members were already out of the music business to focus in other priorities. All Imágenes fans were there, they performed all their songs. After this last concert Imágenes never reunited again.

Biography[link]

He was born on 20 April 1969 in Salzburg, Austria.^[1]

In 1999 he claimed the world record for the highest parachute jump from a building when he jumped from the Petronas Towers in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia.^[2]

On 31 July 2003, Baumgartner became the first person to skydive across the English Channel using a specially made fibre wing.^[3]

Baumgartner set the world record for the lowest BASE jump ever, from the hand of the Christ the Redeemer statue in Rio de Janeiro.^[4]

He became the first person to BASE jump from the completed Millau Viaduct in France on 27 June 2004^{[citation needed]} and the first person to sky dive onto, then BASE jump from, the Turning Torso building in Malmö, Sweden on 18 August 2006.^[5]

[edit] Red Bull Stratos

In January 2010, it was reported that Baumgartner was working with a team of scientists and sponsor Red Bull to attempt the highest sky-dive on record.^[7] Baumgartner was going to make the 120,000 ft (36,600 m) jump from a capsule suspended from a balloon filled with helium, intending to become the first parachutist to break the sound barrier; the feat was scheduled to take place sometime in 2011.^[8][9][10] Joseph Kittinger, who holds the records Baumgartner is attempting to break, was advising Baumgartner during the "Stratos" mission in the hopes of getting scientific data on next-generation full pressure suits.^[7][11] However, on October 12, 2010, Red Bull announced it was placing the project on hold after Daniel Hogan filed a lawsuit in California Superior Court in Los Angeles, California in April, claiming he had originated the idea of the parachute dive from the edge of space in 2004 and that Red Bull had stolen the idea from him.^[12][13] The lawsuit was resolved out of court in June 2011^[14] and on 5 February 2012, The Daily Telegraph reported that the project would be resumed.^[15]

On 15 March 2012 he completed the first of two test jumps from 71,581 feet (21,818 m). During the jump he spent approximately three minutes and 43 seconds in free fall, reaching speeds of more than 360 miles per hour (580 km/h), before opening his parachute. In total, the jump lasted approximately eight minutes and eight seconds and Baumgartner became only the third person to safely parachute from a height of over 13.5 miles (21.7 km).^[16]
