Agustín Lara, de son vrai nom Ángel Agustín María Carlos Fausto Mariano Alfonso Rojas Canela del Sagrado Corazón de Jesús Lara y Aguirre del Pino, surnommé « El Flaco de Oro » ou « El Músico Poeta », né le 30 octobre 1897 à Tlacotalpan dans l'État de Veracruz et mort le 6 novembre 1970 à Mexico, est un compositeur et chanteur mexicain. Selon Luis de Llano, producteur de télévision, Agustín Lara serait né à Mexico.

Biography

Dès son plus jeune âge, Agustín Lara se passionne pour la musique en jouant du piano dans les bars de nuit de Mexico où il est repéré par le ténor Juan Arvizu.

Il s'engagea dans des troupes révolutionnaires et fut blessé aux jambes en 1917.

Agustín Lara a composé plus de cinq cents mélodies interprétées ensuite par des chanteurs tels que Néstor Mesta Cháyres, Juan Arvizu, Frank Sinatra, Julio Iglesias, Luis Mariano ou Plácido Domingo.

En dehors du monde hispanophone, ses chansons les plus célèbres sont certainement Granada et Solamente Una Vez (You Belong To My Heart), qui ont été enregistrées par de nombreux chanteurs internationaux, dont Caruso, Mario Lanza, Luciano Pavarotti, Bing Crosby, Nat King Cole, Elvis Presley et beaucoup d'autres.

Dans les années 1950, ces chansons populaires ont également été organisées et enregistrées par des solistes d'orchestre de premier plan, dont John Serry Sr. (Dot Records #DLP-3024, 1956), et beaucoup d'autres.

Il eut parmi ses épouses l'actrice María Félix, pour qui il écrivit entre autres les chansons María Bonita, Aquel Amor ou Noche de ronda.

Son chef-d'œuvre est la pièce musicale intitulée Veracruz. Sa chanson Piensa en mí (1937) a connu un nouveau succès en 1991, grâce au film Talons aiguilles du réalisateur espagnol Pedro Almodóvar, dans lequel elle est interprétée par la chanteuse espagnole Luz Casal.

Luis, Agustín, Pedro, Ana, and Clara, the five owners of the Los Bohemios cabaret, eventually fall into debt after Agustín spends most of their money on a costly inauguration. Without the funds to repay the debt, Luis and his business partners decide to seek monetary help from his uncle Apolonio Aguilar, an eccentric millionaire rancher, who lives in San Miguel el Alto. When they travel to ask Apolonio to lend them the money, he denies and lies, saying that his millions were swindled from him. Though Apolonio is reluctant to lend money to Luis, he sees his nephew as a potential husband for his tough, orphaned goddaughter Paloma who, in fact, falls in love with Luis. Luis, already in a relationship with Ana, decides to obtain the money from Paloma by inviting her to become a partner of the cabaret, which she misinterprets, believing that he is proposing marriage to her. Paloma accepts and becomes one of the principal performers of the cabaret, showcased as a ranchera singer. Once she discovers that Luis is already romantically involved with Ana (though actually they had broken their relationship shortly before), Paloma becomes disillusioned of Luis and decides to leave the cabaret and travel back to San Miguel el Alto, where she finds Luis, who eventually recognizes his love for her.
