Melendi is celebrating his 47th birthday today. As a number of online tributes attest, he is one of the most acclaimed singers of his generation.

Popular singer Melendi (Lágrimas desordenadas, Un violinista en tu tejado, ...) has always liked to keep a bit of himself hidden from view. At 47th birthday, he remains a man of many facets.

Melendi, a cultural icon

Born Ramón Melendi Espina in Oviedo on January 21, 1979, his career spans an arc over many different eras and tastes in Spanish history. Melendi's not just a great singer, he's an inspiration, an icon and a successful business man. At this point in his career, there seems to be little Melendi hasn't done.

And we've got a feeling the next 12 months are going to be even bigger and better for Melendi as he promises more to come. After all, he's only 47.

Happy Birthday, Melendi, you're the best!
