Braulio

Braulio Antonio García Bautista was born in Santa María de Guía, Gran Canaria, although the consulted sources do not agree on whether the year was 1945 or 1946. The specialised eurovision-spain.com profile identifies him by that civil name and summarises his beginnings in contests and festivals; his official website presents a professional career begun in 1973 and restarted in the Americas in 1983.

His public projection consolidated through the festival circuit of the 1970s. RTVE documents that he represented Spain at the 1976 Eurovision Song Contest in The Hague with Sobran las palabras, finishing sixteenth. His official biography adds awards at Benidorm, Alcobendas, Viña del Mar, Rostock and the Yamaha Song Festival, as well as his move to the United States and the continuity of a Latin American career as singer, songwriter and composer for other performers and telenovelas.

Braulio’s cultural relevance for the Canary Islands combines his origin in Guía, the external circulation of Canarian popular song and institutional recognitions such as Hijo Predilecto of Santa María de Guía, the Can de Plata from the Cabildo of Gran Canaria and the 2026 Canary Islands Gold Medal. This profile summarises his biographical place; repertory, discography, music awards and the American stage are developed in his specialised soloist-and-musician profile.
