Let's make this birthday one to remember.

80 years old (Born on January 18, 1945)

Happy Birthday, Jose Luis Perales! Another year older and still composing hits that make hearts flutter faster than a flamenco dancer's feet. Your timeless melodies have traveled farther around the globe than Spanish tapas—and they're just as irresistible!

From penning "Porque te vas?"—a song so catchy it sold over four million copies—to serenading generations across Latin America with your heartfelt lyrics, you've truly become Spain’s musical ambassador to the world. May this birthday bring you joy brighter than stage lights and applause louder than ever before; after all these years, you're still our favorite chart-topping maestro!
