Singer Camilo Sesto presents his new album 'Camilo Sinfonico' at the Florida Park Club on November 20, 2018 in Madrid., one of the towering voices of Latin pop and a superstar of the 1970s and 1980s, has died, according to a post on his official twitter account. The singer was 72 years old.
Although the cause of his death hasn’t been made public, Sesto had a liver transplant in 2001 and has had occasional health problems through the years. He was active musically, however: an album is slated for release September 13, and Sesto was also scheduled to tour the U.S. extensively, beginning with a show at Coliseo de Puerto Rico October 3, and then continuing through six October dates, including October 25 at the Microsoft Theater.
Sesto’s first major hit, “Algo de mi” with its changing tempos, sweeping string arrangements, multi-octave range and dramatic lyrics set the template for a string of successes. They included dramatic ballads like "Quieres Ser Mi Amante?" and “Vivir Así es morir de amor” , which have become standards of the Spanish-language romantic songbook.
Sesto also gained notoriety playing the role of Jesus Christ Superstar in the Spanish version of the play,, in 1975. Sesto financed the theatrical production in full and went on the record and produce the album, with Angela Carrasco playing Mary Magdalene and Teddy Bautista , arranging and playing the role of Judas.
A prolific recording artist, Sesto would go on to sell over 180 million albums worldwide thanks to his songs that traveled effortlessly across continents. No Latin American who grew up in the '70s or '80s was unfamiliar with his music. Or as one fan posted on twitter: “We were all Camilo Sesto in some karaoke.”
