Manuel de la Calva and Ramón Arcusa met while working in an aviation company. After singing together at a Christmas party, these young music lovers decided to pursue a career naming their act Duo Dinamico. They started with a live performance at a local radio station and recording an EP for the first time in 1959, featuring "Little Darling," "Alone," "Cowboy," and "Recordandote." Soon, Duo Dinamico was performing along with <a href="spotify:artist:10bAcf3bvLnCoePvmT7fyG">Luis Mariano</a>, <a href="spotify:artist:4LCEJ7K3OmivUPkYYH9iZK">Lucho Gatica</a>, even <a href="spotify:artist:6KWcxMWVNVIYbdOQyJtsSy">the Platters</a>, and getting main roles in movies such as Boton De Ancla and Buscame A Esa Chica. The pair wrote "La, la, la", the song that won the 1968 Eurovision Song Contest, performed by Massiel, while in 1972, after recording in London with producer <a href="spotify:artist:4Fgf6RvuWpiwDXSE7Vammx">George Martin</a>, Ramón Arcusa and Manuel de la Calva decided to concentrate themselves in producing new acts, in addition, composing for prominent Latin artists. In 1986 Sony Music signed them up, releasing a self-titled album, followed by En Forma, featuring "Resistiré," which was chosen by Pedro Almodóvar as a main title for the movie soundtrack of Atame. Dúo Dinámico continued to perform in the years to come and in 2007 Quisiera Ser -- a musical featuring 24 of their hits -- began a run at the Teatro Nuevo Apolo in Madrid. ~ Drago Bonacich
