Luis Miguel initially rejected a song written by the Dominican Juan Luis Guerra and which became one of the iconic songs in the Mexican singer’s career.
It is about “Hasta que me forget”, included in the album “Aries”, released in June 1993, and that Luismi’s manager convinced him that it is an extraordinary composition.
As revealed in the bioseries on Luis Miguel, the piece was discovered by Patricio Robles, an employee of Hugo López, manager of Luis Miguel.
When he read the lyrics, Patricio approached to show Luis Miguel, but the young artist did not pay any attention to him, because at that moment he was not aware of who the composer was. The boy was 22 at the time.
However, Hugo came to convince him, and the results were extraordinary: “Hasta que me perdón” reached number one on the Billboard Hot Latin Songs chart in the United States, becoming Luismi’s tenth song to reach this position.
