LUMPENPROLETARIAT—David Záizar (1930-1982) is a musical legend, alongside his duet-singing brother, Juan Zaizar (1933-1991). The Brothers Záizar, or Los Hermanos Záizar, are known, at least around the Michoacán diaspora in California, for composing and interpreting classic songs, such as “Cruz de Olvido”, “Mi Terruño”, “Cielo Rojo”, “Mi Unico Camino”, “Mi Destino Fue Quererte”, “Paloma Negra”, and many more.

One commentator has remarked about the music of David Záizar: “His songs are considered an integral part of the Mexican musical heritage and are comparable, for instance, to Woody Guthrie‘s (1912-1967) influence on American folk music.” Less accolade and historical knowledge seems to register in the English-speaking world regarding Juan Záizar’s life and times, despite his being the primary composer of the duo. The Záizar brothers performed as a duet since their teenage years. They also went on to pursue solo careers, after achieving great success as a duo. Contemporaries of legends of Mexican song, such as Pedro Infante (1917-1957), los hermanos Záizar achieved great fame in their own right throughout Mexico

David Záizar
Musical artist
David Záizar was a Mexican mariachi singer and actor who appeared in many Mexican films. He was active beginning in the 1940s and until his death in 1982, due to a respiratory infection. What earned him the title of "Rey del Falsete" or "King of the Falsetto" was the fact that he displaced Miguel Aceves Mejía, who had the title until Záizar's appearance on the ranchera music scene.
Career
[edit]Initially, he joined forces with his brother, Juan Záizar, with whom he formed a duo. Prior to this, they had both been working on individual projects, especially Juan, who was a renowned composer and singer. They had only sung together for very special occasions, like their tribute to honor the famous ranchera composer, also from Jalisco, Pepe Guízar. Out of this union came the famous duo, "Los Hermanos Záizar" (the Záizar brothers). The brothers mainly recorded on Peerless Records, but they also made some recordings on RCA Victor and RCA Camden in their early years. Nearly all of his solo recordings recorded on Peerless. Like most Mexican folk songs, the majority of those interpreted by David that we have left today are about lost loves, unfaithful women, Mexico and its people, and several other topics commonly present throughout ranchera music.
