Biography

ValentÃn Elizalde, born ValentÃn Elizalde Valencia on February 1, 1979, in Jitonhueca, Sonora, was a Mexican singer known as âEl Gallo de Oroâ and one of the defining voices of early-2000s banda and regional Mexican music. He came from a musical family headed by singer Lalo âEl Galloâ Elizalde, and after spending part of his youth in Sonora, Jalisco, and Sinaloa, he made his first documented public performance in 1998 at a local festival in Bacame Nuevo, Sonora. His recording career began with Regresan los Mafiosos in 1999, followed by TraiciÃ³n Federal in 2000 and 17 Ãxitos en Honor a mi Padre in 2001, a tribute shaped in part by the loss of his father. Over the next few years he expanded his audience with albums such as Y Se Parece a Ti in 2002, Mi SatisfacciÃ³n and Corridos Entre Amigos in 2003, Herencia Mexicana and VolverÃ© a Amar in 2004, and Soy AsÃ in 2005, while songs like "Vete Ya," "Ebrio de Amor," and "Soy AsÃ" became closely tied to his name. In 2006 he released Vencedor, one of the key albums of his career. On November 25, 2006, shortly after a performance in Reynosa, Tamaulipas, he was murdered at age 27. His death sharply changed the scale of his legacy: Vencedor became his first Number1 album on Billboardâs Top Latin Albums chart, and his catalog remained central to the modern corrido and banda canon long after his career was cut short. That legacy was revisited again in 2026, when his music returned in the posthumous collaborative EP Un DÃa Como Hoy with Edgardo NÃºÃ±ez, introduced by a new version of "Vencedor" that peaked at number 37 on the Regional Mexican Airplay chart.
