Carlos Díaz "Caíto" (1945–2004) was an Argentine singer-songwriter and guitarist who lived in Mexico for most of his career.
Biography edit
He was born in 1945 in Mar de Plata, in the Buenos Aires Province and started creating music from the age of eight. At age 15, he entered the Conservatory and started making professional recordings.[1] After touring South America and Europe, he arrived in Mexico in 1977 along with the Uruguayan singer-songwriter Alfredo Zitarrosa. He decided to settle in Mexico City and joined the group Sanampay, which was made up of both Mexican and exiled Argentinian musicians, recording three albums with the group.[2]
In 1981, he resumed his solo career, singing songs by Zitarossa, Luis Eduardo Aute and Pablo Milanés in addition to his own compositions.
He died in Mexico City on 8 November 2004, age 59, after a short battle with lung cancer.[3] He was survived by his long-time partner and their daughter.[4]
