Biography

Diomedes was born in 1957 and raised on a farm called "Carrizal" on the outskirts of La Junta; his father, Rafael Maria Díaz, and his mother, Elvira Maestre, were very poor, something that Diomedes always sought to change. His childhood was spent helping his parents and eight brothers with farm duties, while he was musically influenced by his locally renowned uncle, Martin Elias. His friends nicknamed him El Chivato ("the little goat"), making fun of his young vibrating voice; he became part of the attraction for every party in the house. Eventually Díaz' uncle decided to help him train his voice and compose songs; Díaz quickly mastered his vocal training and was invited to perform at parties. Eager to succeed, he moved to Valledupar to work as a gardener. He also worked as a messenger and office boy for a local radio station, Radio Guatapuri, pursuing the opportunity to convince disc jockeys to play his future songs. Between 1974 and 1975, he got his first song recording deal with Jorge Quiróz and Luciano Poveda, a well known vallenato group; they recorded the song Cariñito de Mi Vida which put Díaz in the spotlight. Father of singer [a5940803]. Diomedes Diaz being paraded on the streets of Valledupar after the release of one of his albums. Díaz received invitations to more parties, gigs and reunions, and his voice captivated a new generation of fans. At the cultural week for a local high school, he met Rafael Orozco Maestre, an emerging vallenato singer who would give Díaz his famous nickname El Cacique de La Junta. After saving money, he recorded his first LP with accordion player Nafer Duran, which was played on radio stations and catapulted Díaz to regional fame. Diomedes Dionisio Díaz Maestre (his full name) died on December 22th, 2013 in Valledupar, Colombia, due to a cardiac arrest. Brother of composers [a3628169] and [a5028874]

LYRICS

Yo quisiera volver al pasado y a mis ilusiones
y encontrarme de nuevo tan cerca estrechando tus manos
Y sentir tu mirada, tu voz, las cosas que hablamos
cuando te confesaba que yo moría por tus amores.
Y era cierto mi vida esa vez sólo era un sueño
y en seguida me viste rodar como hojas al viento
era el tiempo en que yo enamorado aun no sabía
que destino me correspondía
ser querido o más bien olvidado

Hoy quisiera que por fin te aparecieras
me sonrieras y lloraras con mis penas
y encontrarte algún día en otra parte
solitaria frente a frente y saludarte

Y en un arrebato de mi vida loca
darte un besito en la boca
Y en un arrebato de mi vida loca
darte un besito en la boca

Era triste saber que no había una razón en tu vida
para amarme y dejar que algún día se cumplieran mis sueños
Y hasta quise enfrentármele Dios y pedir de rodillas
que dejaras todo por mi amor sin sentir tanto miedo

Duele ahora saber que lo amado no pudo llegar
y es así porque Dios lo ha querido y a si lo será
Fue imposible tu amor pero creo que algo sentiste
al mirar en mis ojos lo triste que causo mi posible deseo

Hoy quisiera que por fin te aparecieras
me sonrieras y lloraras con mis penas
Cuanto diera por llegar allá mi vida
y encontrarte solitaria en esa esquina

Y en un arrebato de mi vida loca
darte un besito en la boca
Y en un arrebato de mi vida loca
darte un besito en la boca

Y en un arrebato de esta loca vida
darte un beso aquí en la boca
Y en un arrebato de esta loca vida amor
darte un beso aquí en la boca
