Biography
Singer and actor Pedro Infante was born in the bosom of a modest Mexican family, learning basic music knowledge from his father, musician Delfino Infante García, and inspiring loving care from his mother, %Refugio Cruz. Pedro Infante assembled a minor orchestra called la Rabia, touring the night club circuit before joining a major group known as Orquesta Estrella de Culiacan. Nevertheless, he moved to Mexico City in 1939 to pursue a solo career, singing at small venues around the city and having the opportunity to join a local radio station show after meeting José Luis Ugalde. Pedro Infante's first record was released in December 1943. Nominated as Best Actor for his roles in the 1947 movie #Cuando Lloran Los Valientes and 1948's #Los Tres Huastecos, he finally achieved the honor in 1956 when the Mexican Academy awarded him for #La Vida No Vale Nada.
