Ricardo Gabarre Clavería, known professionally as Junco, was born on September 12, 1955 in Fraga, Huesca, Spain, and is a Spanish rumba flamenca and romantic ballad singer. Moving to Cornellá de Llobregat at age 9, he began leading the group Los Ángeles Gitanos at age 16. His breakthrough came with the 1986 album Hola mi amor, featuring the hit singles “Hola mi amor” and “Celos”, which established him as a prominent voice in romantic flamenco ballads. He continued releasing albums through the 1980s and 1990s, including Bella sin alma (1991), which incorporated Italian melodies, Alguien cantó (2000), featuring covers of classic songs, and the compilation Todo Junco (2005), before taking an extended break. After a 12-year hiatus, he returned in 2012 with the album Reencuentro, resuming concert tours across Spain. In 2022, he received the Lifetime Achievement Award at the XXIII Premios de la Música Aragonesa, and in 2023, he launched a farewell tour across Spain.
