SALGADO's musical power, attesting to his position as the biggest
star in the Mexican music scene.
Listening carefully to the verses in the Eduardo Garcia-penned "SANGRE
DE REY," the first promotional single for MICHAEL SALGADO's new
album, one realizes that this track has all the elements to become a
mega-hit..."I was defeated by neither sorrow nor failure, I fought
tooth and nail to get the best, it would be my destiny, my struggle,
and my law that became above all, my king's blood," sings MICHAEL
SALGADO in a track that emphasizes his extraordinary abilities; the
vocals of an idol and the absolute dominion over his inseparable
accordion.

Ver" are other tracks that make up MICHAEL SALGADO's new album, and
each one of these songs exudes the musical versatility that made him
the favorite artist in Texas.
The core of "SANGRE DE REY' is comprised of cumbias, corridos and
his unrivaled ballads.
Hailing from Barrancas, Chihuahua, Mexico, MICHAEL SALGADO has
received four "TEJANO MUSIC AWARDS," among them Best Song of the
Year in 2001 for his mega-hit "Yano Voy a Aguantar," and the
Billboard Latin Music Award in 1998 in Best Regional Mexican Album
category. With seven albums under his belt, MICHAEL SALGADO has sold
over 2 MILLION UNITS.
MICHAEL SALGADO began his singing career at age seven by performing
as a guest singer for "conjunto Alegia," a band led by his own
father.
Even back then, he was an original, outstanding and promising young
star, dazzling not only the family members and friends that attended
his home and school performances, but also the savvy impresarios
that followed him everywhere, who were willing to guarantee that his
talent would be enjoyed by the public.
His extraordinary skills at playing the accordion with his left hand
and backwards, granted him his well-deserved nickname, "THE GOLDEN
LEFT-HANDED." This uncommon ability, which became manifest during
his live performances, gained him thousands of fans from the very
beginning.
MICHAEL SALGADO initiates yet another stage in his singing career
with the unconditional support of SONY DISCOS, a label that gives
its best to help artists achieve international success.
