After working for a time as a background singer for
Emmanuel,
Manuel Mijares (he has been billed simply as
Mijares since his debut album in 1986) launched his own career as a pop star with a series of hit singles like “Bella,” “Sonador,” “Poco a Poco,” and “Siempre,” and has remained active ever since with nearly two-dozen albums in his catalog. This set,
Honor a Quien Honor Merece, a tribute to
Jose Jose, was
Mijares' 17th studio album when it was released in 2005. ~ Steve Leggett
