Biografía
The son of a sales manager and school teacher, Chayanne grew up in San Lorenzo, Peurto Rico alongside 4 siblings. He started pursuing music professionally before his 13th birthday, first seeking a position in the teen pop group Menundo; however, he was turned down by the producers due to his young age. Later on he joined one of the group’s contenders “Los Chicos”. The band was formed in 1978 and also featured the successful Latin singer Giro Lopez. They rose to large scale popularity in the early 80s, making a strong break into the markets (particularly in Puerto Rico, South America and Central America).
Los Chicos broke up in 1984, allowing Chayanne to enter the music industry as a solo artist. Sporting influences like Marco Antonio Solis, Miguel Bose, and Ana Gabriel, Chayanne honed in on an airy romantic aurora that sizzled with exciting flavors of sound and unpredictable rhythmic swings.
He signed with RCA Records in 1984 and released his studio debut “Es mi Nombre” later that year. His second and last album for RCA “Sangre Latina” came out in 1986 and paved the way for the string of successes he would release through Sony Music.
Chayanne’s first release through the label (which was his self-titled studio album) came out in 1987 to massive commercial success. It featured two stand out singles including the ballad “Peligro de Amor” and the dance track “Fiesta en America”. His follow up record known as “Chayanne II” was also a hit and led to his position as spokesperson for Pepsi. However it was his 1990 album “Tiempo de Vals”, which featured some of his best selling singles that pushed him from respected Latin singer to mega pop star.
His career spiked throughout the 90s as he released some of his best albums such as “Provocame”, which contained the No.1 U.S. Hot Latin track “El Centro de mi Corazon” (1992) and “Influencias” (1994) (as the title suggests it was a tribute to many of his musical inspirations).
By the close of the 90s he raked in his 2nd Grammy nomination with the album “Atado a Tu Amor” and scored another No.1 single with “Dejaria Todo”. He had another No.1 hit with “Yo Tu Te Vas” on his album “Simplemente” (2000) and released his greatest hits album “Grandes Exitos” 2 years later.
He successively released “Sincero”, which spawned two No.1 hits “Un Siglo Sin Ti” and “Cuidarte el Alma”. He supported the release in 2005 with a tour alongside Alejandro Fernandez and Marc Anthony. 2005 was particularly a busy year for Chayanne as he released two more albums: “Desde Siempre” and “Cautivo”.
2007 saw the release of Chayanne’s 13th studio album “Mi Tiempo”. It sold 17,000 copies within a week and went on to take the No. 2 spot on the Top Latin Album Charts. He promoted the album with a tour throughout North and Central America, hitting dates in Venezuela, Peru, and the United States. He returned to the recording studio in 2009 and issued his 14th studio album “No Hay Imposibles” in early 2010.
Críticas en vivo
I absolutely love Latino music, and Chayanne’s fusion with pop is the most feel good, make you want to dance music I’ve encountered in a long time. It doesn’t surprise me that his catchy tracks have sold over 30 million albums. As you can imagine, I was absolutely dying to see him in concert.
It’s not very often that I’d get a chance to see him live, but the concert I saw was spectacular – in a huge arena venue. Everything about the event, from the lighting, the sound, the seating and standing areas, the bar, the support acts, was simply perfect and orchestrated with the highest precision. Something that I didn’t know abut Chayanne that blew me away was the level of his dancing skills. From the moment the first chord sounded, he didn’t stop moving. This massively added to the performance value, making the show’s visual standards live up to the quality of the music.
He is an exceptional artists and outdoes himself with his vocal performance time and time again. I really do see him touring for many years to come. He has maintained his style and sounds very well. It was great that he played such a mixture of his tracks, ranging from the starting out, right up to the very new. What a great concert.

Elmer Figueroa Arce better known by his stage name Chayanne is the singer/songwriter who has struck the winning balance between Latino and pop that has seen him go on to sell over twenty million albums in his career that now spans over three decades. It is fair to say he has been touring tirelessly in order to meet the demands of his huge fanbase who are always eager to sing and dance along with his popular material.
Now approaching fifty, Chayanne performs with the energy and charisma of a man half his age as he practically leaps onto stage and absorbs the cheers and applause. He leads a slick backing band through a discography spanning set reaching for his very best material. The energy levels stay very high all evening and this is mainly due to the fantastic rapport that the singer builds with his crowd from the offset. They sway, jump and dance on his command and it is fair to say that the band onstage seems to have just as much fun performing the songs as the audience do hearing.

Whilst I enjoy Latino music whenever I am lucky enough to hear it, I am by no means a fan and my knowledge extends no further than the odd Enrique track. However, when I was dragged to a Chayanne concert, I found myself enthralled and captivated by the music in a way that I had simply not expected. There is no doubt that Chayanne is a superb singer with a beautiful, melodic voice and very rich, sweet tones. I am not fluent in Spanish but I understand enough to appreciate his music in its native language. It is clear to see why Chayanne is so popular in his native Puerto Rico and why he has managed to sell an incredible 30 million albums, worldwide. Even those that do not understand Spanish but can appreciate Latin music will surely love Chayanne. He has an incredible stage presence, is soulful and lively on stage. He danced along with his backing dancers, seemed high in energy and appeared to love every minute. A real entertainer.
