The Latin American music industry has had more than its share of incredible artists and memorable musical sensations, but few have been as successful as Ricardo Arjona. With over 80 million albums sold, he stands as one of the most popular Latin American artists in modern history. As a Guatemalan singer-songwriter, he uses his life experiences as material for many of his songs, creating a more connective experience for his fans to enjoy, especially during a live performance. He has enjoyed critical success over the course of his career as well, winning many awards and earning even more nominations for his powerful tracks and arrangements.
Ricardo Arjona began his musical career in the mid-1980s, at the age of 21. His first album was with a now-defunct Guatemalan record label, and it was largely skimmed over by fans and critics because it did not showcase much of the singer's personality. His second album, which was titled
Jesús, Verbo No Sustantivo
was much better received, and it helped his name reach a global audience. It was so successful that it became a best-selling album in Central American territories while enjoying tremendous attention in the United States. As time went on, he released more and more albums, with the release of his 16th album already reaching the top of the global charts in 2017. Ricardo Arjona also received numerous accolades for his work, including the Lifetime Achievement Award in 2017 during the prestigious
Billboard
Latin Music Awards.
