Amalia Macías is a Mexican singer and actress of stage, radio, film, and television.[1][2] In the 1970s and 1980s, she toured Europe singing Mexican songs.[3][4]
Macías was born in Irapuato, Guanajuato, Mexico.[4] She began her career at the age of 13, winning an amateur contest at Irapuato's Cine Rialto with her interpretation of the song "Dos arbolitos".[4] Her prize consisted of a box of Lerma soda and a pass to watch movies for free for a year.[4]
In a troupe that passed through Irapuato, she met the singer Luis Pérez Meza, who advised her to relocate to Mexico City to make her professional debut as a ranchera singer.[4] She had to convince her strict mother to allow her to go.[4]
In Mexico City, the famous quartet Los Tecolines helped her get a record deal with Peerless Records, where she recorded her first hit single, "Si volviera a nacer", which allowed her to sing on radio and tour the country.[4] She made her television debut in Música, risa y estrellas with other new singers, such as Irma Serrano, Lucha Moreno, José Juan, and Juan Gallardo.[4]
Macías made her film debut with a starring role in El tigre de Santa Julia (1974)[4] and also sang several songs in the film.
In 1982, she decided to finance a tour of Spain to "show what Mexico is".[4] With the money she earned singing in California, she hired Pepe López's Mariachi México 70 as her musical accompaniment.[4] Before she left for Spain, Mexican journalist Jacobo Zabludovsky interviewed her and gave her television programs to promote her tour of Spain.[4] She sang in the Spanish cities of Bilbao, Zaragoza, Torremolinos, Marbella, Madrid, and Barcelona.[4]
