Puerto Rican acoustic guitar legend José Feliciano was a household name in Latin America in the 1960’s, but became an international star with his version of The Doors Light My Fire in 1968.
His music fuses many styles including Latin, jazz, blues, soul and rock and he also had huge success with his Christmas hit Feliz Navidad.
The year 2018 marked the 50th anniversary of José’s arrival on the international music scene with his RCA recording of Feliciano! which featured Light My Fire. His golden anniversary year was highlighted in May with his return to his homeland of Puerto Rico. The event was held at the Luis A. Ferré Performing Arts Center. To a full house, José and his homeland public shared his 50 years of musical celebrity in the two-hour spectacle.
Thus far, he has released over fifty albums worldwide, in both English and Spanish, and has won seven Grammys.
