Agustín Lara.
Also called Ángel Agustín María Carlos Fausto Mariano Alfonso del Sagrado Corazón de Jesús Lara y Aguirre del Pino.
Agustin Lara was one of Mexico's greatest songwriters. Lara'ssongs, including "Perdida," "Rosa" and "Granado," continued to be heard in his home land three decades after his death at the age of seventy-three. The lengthy list of artists who have recorded Lara'ssongs include Latin artists such as Las Hermanas Aguila, Pedro Vargas, Jorge Hernandez, Elvira Rios, Carmela Rey and Ana Maria Fernandez and non-Latin artists including George Benson, Vikki Carr, Nat KingCole and Bunny Benigan. Lara's best known tune, "Veracruz," remains the unofficial state anthem of the town for which it's named.

Lara's songs were essential to the early days of Mexican cinema.In addition to providing the soundtrack for Santa, one of Mexico's first "talkies," in 1931, Lara composed songs for such hit films as Virgen De Medianoche (1941), Noche De Ronda (1942), Pervertida(1945), Tropicana (1956) and a remake of Santa (1943). A movie based on his life, La Vida De Agustin Lara, was released in 1959. The son of a doctor and piano player, Lara began piano lessons at a veryyoung age. From the beginning, he preferred making up his own songs. Although he worked as an entertainer in a bordello, during the Mexican Revolution, he succumbed to his father's demands that heattend military school. His interests in education ended quickly, however, and he soon left to pursue a career in music.
The first signs of success came, in September 1928, when the Adelaido CastenadaOrchestra and vocalist Jose Rubio recorded his composition, "Impossible." A month later, the Ascensio Trio recorded his song, "Clavelito." Following his success as a songwriter, Lara embarked on atour with vocalists Juan Aruiza and Ana Maria Fernandez. In September 1929, Lara became one of Mexico's greatest stars when he began performing on a nationally-broadcast radio show, "Las Hora Intima."...
