Beto Quintanilla
Norberto "Beto" Quintanilla Iracheta was a Mexican singer, songwriter and musician. Beto was known as "El Mero León Del Corrido" (word "mero" is idiomatic or slang and means more than its cognate "mere"; an English translation could be "The Boss Lion Of The Corrido" ).
==Life and career==
Beto Quintanilla was originally from General Terán, a small town in Nuevo León, Mexico. The date of his birth is unknown, but was some time in the late 1940s. As a child, Quintanilla composed poems or odes to his mother, his teacher, his school, and his country. He left school after only a year of secondary education in order to work in fields alongside his father and his five brothers. His extended family also included three male relatives and two women. The farm was not enough to support the entire family and when he was 13 years old, young Beto relocated to Reynosa, Tamaulipas, where he had found a job milking cows. He did this for a year, and then worked with an aunt in a clothing store for several years.
Quintanilla never had any formal musical training. Although he had always written poetry and songs, musical instruments and musical mtraining were scarce, and he knew few musicians. However, at some time during his life on the ranch, he did meet a pair of musicians who played bajo sexto and accordion. He began writing songs for them, and then songs for other groups. Eventually he came to the attention of Ruben Polanco, the artistic director of a record company, and Polanco encouraged him to sing his songs himself. Apparently Quintanilla initially objected that he did not know how to sing and felt out of place when he sang. Polanco told him not to waste time (excuses ), that he (Polanco) wanted to sign artists like Quintanilla, and that he (Quintanilla) had a unique style and presence.〔http://www.betoquintanilla.com/biografia1.htm〕
Quintanilla died in Reynosa, Mexico, on 18 March 2007. The cause of death was a heart attack, said to be related to a drug overdose.〔http://www.themonitor.com/news/local/few-answers-nearly-year-after-narcocorrido-singer-chuy-quintanilla-shot/article_366f5f54-9761-11e3-aab7-001a4bcf6878.html〕
