All about Daro Gómez
Daro de Jess Gómez Zapata was born in San Jerónimo on February 6, 1951. He has sold more than six million CDs in his country and abroad, earning him the title El Rey del Despecho for his performance of Nadie is eterno (No One Is Eternal) (King of spite). He wrote songs such as La Oveja Negra (The Black Sheep), El Hijo del Amor (Son of Love), Corazon Resentido (The Resentful Heart) and others.
Gómez began writing poetry at the age of 14 while working as a mechanic and farmer. He then discovered his music production and joined the record label Codiscos. In 1977, he was appointed creative director of the company. Key features of his notes were December themes, picaresque tone, vallenatos and dance. He joined Los LegenDaros with his brother Heriberto Gómez. Angel perdido (The Lost Angel), inspired by the death of his sister Rosangela, was his first success.
Gómez made his solo debut in 1985 and became famous with the performance of Decidelo (Decide it). That’s when he released his first album Asi se le canta al despecho (That’s how it’s sung in spite). In May 2015, he released the video for me voy a casar (I’m getting married), followed by the remix of No Hay Razon Para Odiarte (No Reason to Hate You) with Yelsida and Andy Rivera.
He has won several accolades throughout his career, including the Ascap Award for Writing Nobody Is Forever and the Golden Pentagram. He appeared on television for the first time in 2007, and in 2009 he was included in a commercial for Telefonica Telecom Colombia.
