All About Daro Gómez

Daro de Jess Gómez Zapata was born in San Jerónimo on February 6, 1951. He sold over six million CDs in his own country and overseas, earning him the title of El Rey del Despecho for his performance of Nadie is eterno (Nobody is eternal) (The king of spite). He wrote songs such as La Oveja Negra (the black sheep), El Hijo del Amor (the son of love), Corazon Resentido (the resentful heart), and others.

Gómez began composing poetry at the age of 14 while working as a mechanic and farmer. He then revealed his musical production and joined the record label Codiscos. In 1977, he was appointed creative director of the firm. His notes’ key features were the themes of December, the picaresque tone, vallenatos, and dancing. He joined Los LegenDaros with his brother Heriberto Gómez. Angel perdido (Lost Angel), inspired by the death of his sister Rosangela, was his first success.

Gómez made his solo debut in 1985 and rose to prominence with his performance of Decidelo (Decide it). He then published his first album, Asi se le canta al despecho (So it is sung to spite). In May 2015, he released a video for me voy a casar (I’m going to married), followed by a remix of No Hay Razon Para Odiarte (There’s no cause to hate you) with Yelsid and Andy Rivera.

Throughout his career, he garnered several honors, including the Ascap award for writing Nobody is eternal and the Golden Pentagram. He first appeared on television in 2007, and in 2009 he was included in a commercial for Telefonica Telecom Colombia.
