Luis Cobos

With a rich background in classical music, Luis Cobos dedicated himself in 1982 to learning to be a conductor for hire, travelling all over the world and making orchestral arrangements for a number of artists, including Julio Iglesias and Plácido Domingo. He also caused a number of orchestras like the Royal Philharmonic, the Symphonic Orchestra of Moscow as well as the Symphonic Orchestra of Brussels. He continues to be incredibly prolific, gaining over 50 platinum record awards in a variety of countries and offering over 10 million albums world-wide. Among his many interesting projects certainly are a couple of albums that feature traditional interpretations of Mexican modern and folk music — Mexicano, that was released by CBS Information in 1995 and Viva México, that was released by General Music Latino in 2000.
