Editing Miguel Bosé (section)

==Career==
Propelled by his famous family and their friends, Bosé started a career as an actor in 1971, taking part in various movies. He quickly found work on the basis of his talent and good looks rather than his family name. He studied acting as well as dancing and singing. Due to the lack of acting opportunities, he started exploring his talents as a singer in 1975. With the assistance of [[Camilo Sesto]] he recorded his first singles. Two years later, in 1977, Bosé signed a contract with [[Columbia Records|CBS Records]] and he remained with them until 1984.<ref>{{cite web |url= http://www.allmusic.com/artist/p28991 |title=Miguel Bosé &#124; AllMusic |first=Zac |last=Johnson |work=allmusic.com |year=2012|access-date=May 6, 2012}}</ref> With them he published his first album, ''Linda'', which included his first hit single, titled in the same way. Between 1977 and 1982, Bosè was a major teen idol in Italy, Spain, Southern Europe and in all Latin America. He had 7 top ten hits that earned him a secure spot in every televised song festival held in the aforementioned countries. By 1983 his star had severely waned in Italy, and he rarely performed there again until the 90s, retreating to Latin American markets instead.

From 1983 to 1985, he participated in the "[[Fill Your Head with Rock|Llena Tu Cabeza De Rock]]" television specials on [[Puerto Rico|Puerto Rican]] [[WAPA-TV]]. In 1984 Miguel Bosé radically changed his style, focusing on a more adult audience. That year he published his album ''[[Bandido (Miguel Bosé album)|Bandido]]'', which reflects that personal evolution towards maturity and includes songs like "Sevilla" or "Amante bandido". With this song, he topped the charts in Spain and Latin America. The video to that song also became one of the most widely seen Spanish music videos, with Bose playing both a [[Superman]] style superhero and an [[Indiana Jones (character)|Indiana Jones]] type of adventurer. The album cover featured Bosé looking similar to [[David Bowie]] on his album ''[[Aladdin Sane]]''.
In Italy, where he had a parallel career singing in both Italian and English, his greatest success would be in 1994 by winning Festivalbar, the second largest musical event (after the [[Sanremo Music Festival]]), for the third time.

===2007: Papito===
On 20 March 2007, to celebrate his 30 years as a singer, he released ''[[Papito (album)|Papito]]'', an album that contains remakes of his previous songs as duets with [[Juanes]], [[Alejandro Sanz]], [[Fangoria (band)|Fangoria]], [[Ivete Sangalo]], [[Laura Pausini]], [[Shakira]], [[Julieta Venegas]], [[Ricky Martin]], [[Amaia Montero]] (past member of the Spanish band [[La Oreja de Van Gogh]]), [[Michael Stipe]], along with many other singers. Three singles were released off ''Papito'': the first is a re-make of his hit "Nena", featuring Mexican superstar [[Paulina Rubio]]; the second was "Morena Mía", with Mexican-American pop diva [[Julieta Venegas]]. The third single "Como un lobo" featured his niece [[Bimba Bosé]]. "Nena" was by far the most successful single off the album. It was nominated for a [[Latin Grammy]] for best song and became the best selling download of Spain in 2007. In the same year, Bosé was awarded the [[Billboard Latin Music Lifetime Achievement Award]].<ref>{{cite news|last1=Salomon|first1=Gisela|title=Barba Dominates Billboard Latin Awards|url=https://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2007/04/26/AR2007042602898.html|access-date=December 7, 2017|newspaper=The Washington Post|date=April 27, 2007}}</ref>

In 2008, Colombian President [[Álvaro Uribe]] offered him Colombian citizenship because of his efforts towards peace in Colombia, including his participation in two concerts in 2008. On 16 March 2010 he received [[Colombian nationality law|Colombian citizenship]] during a ceremony in the presidential palace, [[Casa de Nariño]].

=== 2012–2015: Papitwo ===
After several "hints" on Twitter, on 4 September 2012 he released the album ''[[Papitwo]]'', a follow-up to his successful ''[[Papito (album)|Papito]]''. The album contained additional remakes of well-known songs from his career, again featuring artists such as [[Juanes]] on "Partisano", [[Bimba Bosé]] on "Shoot Me in the Back" and [[Alejandro Sanz]] on "Te Comería El Corazón". It also included new collaborations with singers such as [[Pablo Alborán]] on "Puede Que", [[Juan Luis Guerra]] on "Creo En Ti", [[Tiziano Ferro]] on "Amiga", [[Jovanotti]] on "Mirarte", [[Malú]] on his first hit "[[Linda (2012 song)|Linda]]" (first single in Spain), [[Joaquín Sabina]] on "Sol Forastero", [[Ximena Sariñana]] on "Aire Soy" (first single in the Americas) and [[Dani Martín (singer)|Dani Martín]] on "Te Digo Amor", among others. The Hollywood actress [[Penélope Cruz]] collaborated on the unreleased song "Decirnos Adiós", composed by her brother for Bosé.

The album has two versions, a single disc with 14 previous hits remade with different artists and a deluxe one, with another CD containing 14 collaborations that Bosé made with singers during his career, including [[Hombres G]] on "Lo Noto", [[Raphael (singer)|Raphael]] on "Morir de Amor", [[Natalia Lafourcade]] on "Si No Pueden Quererte", Spanknox on "Wrong in the Right Way", among others.

The album was released to coincide with Bosé's "Papitwo" Tour, which started in [[Madrid]].{{citation needed|date=February 2016}}
