Singer / Guitar Originally from Chile, Kike began singing as a child and won the "Festival de Cantantes" (Festival of Singers) in Santiago at the age of 12. He began his public performing career from the age of 14-16 as he toured Chile & Peru with "Tierra Joven," a young group of folkloric singers. In 1975 he was invited by "Alma de America" to Ecuador to record an album. His talent was so well received that he was then invited to join the group permanently. It is here that he met Miguel Benitez, and began performing in concert settings with their own group"Alma", and also as a very popular duo. With incredible vocals and harmonies they currently have their own CD available, "Kike & Miquel", which consists of popular traditional South American folksongs. In 1986 his fame was permanently established while performing as the lead singer for the well known Latin rock group "BARRO" (described above).
