“El Puma” has earned the adulation of fans with iconic ballads, including "Culpable soy yo" (“Guilty am I), "Dueño de ti," "Pavo real" and "Agárrense de las manos." Born in Caracas, Venezuela as the youngest of 11 children, José Luis Rodríguez began his musical and acting career in 1963.
During the past six decades, he has recorded more than 60 albums, and has participated in over 34 soap operas, movies, and international series. His passion for music and determination have kept him acting and singing during this entire period, and even after undergoing a double lung transplant, the 78-year-old artist has continued to perform and delight audiences around the world.
