Jesús Emmanuel Acha Martínez
Emmanuel , real name: Jesús Emmanuel Acha Martínez (born April 16, 1955 in Mexico City ), is a Mexican pop singer and composer . He is the son of Raúl (Rovira) Acha, a well-known bullfighter and the flamenco singer and dancer Conchita Martinez .
Life
Initially striving to emulate his father and become a bullfighter himself, which he partly succeeded in doing, he soon swapped Muleta and Capote (both bullfighting instruments) for the microphone .
In 1976 he won a singing competition organized annually by the national daily newspaper "El Heraldo" in Mexico. The musical focus here was still clearly on the typical Mexican folk music, the so-called mariachi . He was regarded as the heir of the mariachi musician Pedro Vargas, who is extremely popular not only in Mexico.
He received a recording contract with RCA Records and over the years released several quite successful albums, which went gold six times and platinum eight times in Mexico . He then turned more and more to the pop music typical of Central and Latin America.
In addition to his musical ambitions, he is also very interested in nature and its protection and tries to sensitize the people of his home country to the topic of nature conservation . He is an active member of the Movimiento Hombre-Naturaleza organization (Human-Nature Movement), which calls for a responsible approach to the environment .
