Reyli Barba (born April 12, 1972 in Juárez, Chiapas), most commonly known as Reyli, is a well-known Mexican singer-songwriter who has reached staggering success in the past few years all over Latin America and the Latin U.S.. He is also a successful composer and has written songs for the likes of Alejandro Fernández and Beyoncé Knowles.

Reyli is a former member of Elefante, a band which he led until 2003, when he set out to release his debut solo album. This album, titled En la Luna (In the Moon), sold well, and "Amor Del Bueno" reached the top of the Mexican charts, charted in the U.S. Hot Latin Tracks and became a global Latin hit.

In 2007, the singer released his second album, Fe (Faith), which failed to sell as well as his prior album. Both singles from this album also failed to make the impact others of his singles have made.

Career

Elefante

Elefante had formed in Mexico in the late nineties, but they only became successful in the early 2000s, when they opened for Joaquín Sabina in the Auditorio Nacional, Mexico's most important arena. Their debut album, El Que Busca Encuentra was a success. The first single was Así Es La Vida which reached the Mexican Top 5 due to its staggering radio airplay.

The band would go on to release Lo Que Andábamos Buscando, their second album in 2001 which spawned their greatest hit, "El Abandonao" which was sung by Reyli. During this time, the band would represent Mexico in the famous Chilean festival Viña del Mar.

In 2003, Reyli announced that he had plans to release a solo album, and that he was to stay in Elefante. After the announcement, however, he left the band. No announcement was ever given to the Mexican media.

En la Luna

After leaving the band, Reyli started composing for what he planned to be his solo debut, a romantic pop much different than the Rock Latino he sung in Elefante. En la Luna was released on September 28, 2004.

The first single from the album was Desde Que Llegaste which was used in the soundtrack for the movie Ladies' Night. Radio airplay and the high rotation of the music video, which featured now-Hollywood actress Ana de la Reguera, helped the single climb up the charts. Ten weeks after its release, the song had climbed to the top of the Mexican charts and stayed there for a second week. The single also charted in the U.S. Latin Top 30.

The second single from the album, Al Fin Me Arme de Valor was largely a flop. The song failed to chart on the U.S. Hot Latin Tracks.

On October 2005, Reyli released Amor del Bueno, which was to be the defining third single. The song was welcomed warmly by radio stations, which put the song on high rotation. The song charted as high as 11 in the U.S. Hot Latin Tracks.

During this time, Reyli's La Descarada was also the theme song for the extremely successful telenovela Rubí, which was shown in Mexico, the United States and all over Latin America.

Two more songs were released from the album, No Era Necesario, which peaked within the Mexican Top 20 and Se Quien Soy which was the official song to the Mexican version of Big Brother.

In Mexico, the album was certified 2 times Platinum and Gold, for 250,000 albums sold, while it was certified 2 times Gold in the U.S. for sales of 200,000. To date, it has sold 500,000 copies in the world.

On February 26, 2006, En la Luna, Special Edition was released. Almost a year and half after the original release of En la Luna, Reyli included the full studio version of No Era Necesario, since the original album only featured a Demo Version. Also, a reggaetón version of Al Fin Me Armé de Valor was included as the final track. In addition to the 2 extra tracks, there was an accompanying DVD with video clips and footage from live performance.

Fe

In mid-2007, Reyli released his expected second album, Fe (Faith). He recorded a song called "Aunque vivas con el" with the Mexican legend José José, for Jose's last album Mis Duetos.

Reyli has released 2 singles from the album to date. Pegale A La Pared and Perdoname En Silencio.

Que Vueltas da la vida

Released digitally on May 12, 2009, Que Vueltas da la vida was available to the general public on June 9, 2009. Of his third studio effort, the singer-songwriter said, "This album will make history in my career and in my life." He went on to say that the album, "carries my happiness, my longings, it reflects my status today, my way of being now, my sentimental state, my stage in life." The album was produced and directed by Andrés Castro, who has worked with the likes of Carlos Vives and Juanes. "This marvelous album, Que vueltas da la vida, we wrote it, assembled it, gave it strength, Andrés and I; Andrés is Colombian, a producer, a guitarist, my adored brother. We started in September, in one afternoon we wrote six songs and from there he started to put everything together, the answers were very clear that the unedited album had to be assembled and eleven days later, we had the repertory pulled together."

The album is a reflection of Reyli's love for experimentation. The 11-track album showcases ballads and songs of rock music and ranchera influence. He admitted that the album "sounds harder and more-street." In it, "I show a little bit more of myself as an artist, as a composer. It is a more direct disc, a mouthful of truths, a special expression of life's contrasts, with songs very rough, but also songs "full of honey, of purity, like Ando por las nubes (I walk through clouds), Alma gemela (Soulmate), Cásate conmigo (Marry me); there is everything on the CD."

Two singles have been released to date, ¿Qué nos pasó? and La verdad. The video of ¿Qué nos pasó? "was filmed in San Luis Potosí, México, under the direction of Andrés Ibáñez de Infante." Working with director Matias Penachino and producer Paula Marina Arriola, Reyli filmed the video for La verdad, the second single. It was shot on site at Hotel Geneve, in the Federal District of Mexico City.

Luis Miguel González Borloni (born April 3, 1956) is a Latin Grammy-winning Spanish/Italian musician and actor.

Biography

Early life

Bosé was born in San Fernando Hospital in Panama City, Panama, the son of the famous Italian actress Lucia Bosé and the legendary bullfighter Luis Miguel Dominguín. He is also cousin of Carmen Ordóñez. His Godfather was Luchino Visconti. He grew up in an environment surrounded by art and culture. Closer friends of his family were Pablo Picasso, Ernest Hemingway and the father of current president Colombia. His godfather was Luchino Visconti. Paul Picasso was the godfather of his sister Paola Dominguin.

Career

In 1971, Bosé started a career as an actor, participating in various movies. However, he did not make that many films, and in 1975 he decided a career change was due and started exploring his talents as a singer. By the hand of Camilo Blanes he recorded his first singles. Some years later Bosé signed a contract with CBS Records in 1977 and he remained with them until 1984.

In 1983, 1984 and 1985, he participated in the "Llena Tu Cabeza De Rock" television specials on Puerto Rico WAPA-TV. But it was in 1985 that he became an international superstar, when his song "Amante bandido" rose to the top of the charts all over Latin America and in Spain, while he started to decline in Italy, where he had a parallel career, singing either in Italian and in English - he would go back to the top there in 1994, by winning Festivalbar (the second musical event after the Sanremo Music Festival) for the third time. The video to that song also became one of the most widely seen Spanish music videos, with Bose playing both a Superman style superhero and an Indiana Jones type of adventurer in it.

Bosé has been a force in Latin music with a career that has spanned 21 albums, roles in more than 35 films, his own television show, and work as a theatre director. With Pablo Picasso and Ernest Hemingway among his family friends, Bosé grew up in the arts, constantly traveling around Spain and to Milan, New York, London and Paris. He made his film debut at the age of 15, and at age 21, he began his singing career which eventually led to international pop stardom.

Defying the contemporary formula for pop success, his music has been described as a global fusion of many musical influences. At the center of his music is all the passion and expression of a Latin artist, yet Miguel Bosé has constantly incorporated more diverse musical elements than many of the genre's crossover pop stars.

In 2007, to celebrate his 30 years as a singer, he released Papito, an album that contains remakes of his previous songs, re-interpreted in duets with Juanes, Alejandro Sanz, Fangoria, Ivete Sangalo, Laura Pausini, Shakira, Julieta Venegas, Ricky Martin, Amaia Montero (former member of the Spanish band La Oreja de Van Gogh), and Michael Stipe from R.E.M., along with many other singers. Three singles were released off Papito: the first is a re-make of his hit "Nena", featuring Paulina Rubio; the second was "Morenamía", with Julieta Venegas. The most notorious song of the album was the third single "Como un lobo" featuring his niece Bimba Bosé. It won a Latin Grammy for best song, and became the best selling download of Spain in 2007.

In 2008, Colombian President Álvaro Uribe offered him Colombian citizenship because of his efforts towards peace in Colombia, including his participation in two concerts in 2008. On March 16 of 2010 he received the Colombian citizenship during a ceremony in the presidential palace, Casa de Nariño.
