Biography

José Celestino Casal Álvarez, known as Tino Casal, was a Spanish singer, songwriter, and producer born in 1950, in Asturias, Spain. He began his musical career in 1963 in the group Los Zafiros Negros, and later joined Los Archiduques in 1967. After a brief stint in London as a painter, he returned to Spain in 1977 and signed with Philips, releasing modest singles before moving to EMI in 1981. His debut solo album Neocasal introduced the hit “Champú de Huevo”, which reached Number 1 on the Spanish charts. Subsequent releases—Etiqueta Negra (1983), Hielo Rojo (1984), Lágrimas de Cocodrilo (1987), and Histeria (1989)—produced chart‑topping tracks such as “Embrujada” and “Eloise”. The album Lágrimas de cocodrilo became the second biggest-selling album in Spain in 1988 behind Mecano's Descanso Dominical. Casal collaborated with artists like Pedro Almodóvar and produced for bands such as Obús. He died in a car accident in Madrid in 1991. Compilations like Grandes Éxitos: Etiqueta Negra (1991) and Tino Casal: The Platinum Collection (2007) reaffirmed his influence on 1980s Spanish pop and rock.
