Biography

Luis Barrull Salazar (born 15 February 1948), better known as El Luis, is a Spanish singer in thestyles. His brother Antonio, known as El Zíngaro, is also a rumba singer.

Career

Barrull was born in A Coruña, Galicia, Spain, on 15 February 1948. As a young boy he moved to Argentina, where he stayed for 15 years. It was there where he started to sing flamenco.

After returning to Spain, he scored a huge hit with his first single "Te Lo Digo Cantando" in 1976. After releasing two full albums, El Luis in 1976 and Solo in 1978 both on CBS, Barrull was jailed in Madrid's Carabanchel Prison Madrid due to drug smuggling. While in jail he became more religious. After his release he went to New York to record his third album entitled Gitano Soul. All three albums were produced by José Luis de Carlos. He also wrote songs for Las Grecas, Los Chichos, and his brother El Zíngaro before retiring from the music business.
