recognize vocalist Carlos Cuevas, who has been named Mr. Amigo | ||
for 2010; and | ||
WHEREAS, For 40 years, the Mr. Amigo honoree has been | ||

by such former winners as Angelica Vale, Cantinflas, and | ||
Veronica Castro; and | ||
WHEREAS, Known as the King of Bolero, Carlos Cuevas began | ||
his recording career in 1981 with the release of Gatita Asustada; | ||

Armando Manzanero, and renowned tenor, Plácido Domingo; and | ||
WHEREAS, Among his best-known albums is Bolerópera, a | ||
blend of boleros and operatic arias; this unique combination of | ||
sounds and cultures broke new ground in the industry and | ||
solidified his place in music history; and | ||

prestigious honor for his many contributions to the rich cultural | ||
legacy of Latin America; now, therefore, be it | ||
RESOLVED, That the Senate of the State of Texas, 82nd | ||
