Carlos Baute

Venezuelan singer/songwriter, actor, and dancer Carlos Baute got involved in popular music after joining a local band called los Chamos. In the acting field, his debut came while playing a role in the Latin soap opera Destino de Mujer. In 1994, he signed up to a major label and made an Afro-Caribbean record titled Orígenes I. A second album, called Orígenes II, followed in 1997, featuring the hit single "Te Quise Olvidar." After releasing the successful Yo Nací Para Quererte and 2001's Dame de Eso, which included the Latin pop hit "El Angelito," Baute became a top-selling artist in Venezuela and Spain. ~ Drago Bonacich
