Los Superson were looking for a singer and Luis Manuel took the position. This set, with different musicians over time, would forever accompany the singer.<\/p>\n<p>After military service in the Navy in Cartagena, he worked in an office and made his debut as a soloist in the Song Festival of La Vall d&#8217;Uixo in 1968.<\/p>\n<p>Miguel Siur\u00e1n, his first manager, christened him with the artistic name of Nino Bravo. He recorded his first single with songs by Manuel Alejandro: \u201c<em>Como todo<\/em>s\u201d and \u201c<em>Es el viento<\/em>\u201d. In the summer of 1969 Augusto Alguer\u00f3 gave him \u201c<em>Te quiero, te quiero<\/em>\u201d a song that despite being recorded by the artists Raphael, Lola Flores and Carmen Sevilla, had not been released.
