Biography

(Mexico City, March 2, 1917 - June 18, 1996) Mexican composer, founding partner of the Mexican rights society and publishing entity "Sociedad de Autores y Compositores de México" in 1945, and also a singer. Might appear also as "Pepe Baena" or "Federico Bahena".
He was the author of successes like "Que Te Vaya Bien", "Vagabundo", "En Qué Quedamos", "Yo Vivo Mi Vida", "Cuatro Cirios", "Ay, Cariño", "Te Vas Porque Quieres" and "Qué Tal Te Fue", among many others. He was known as "The composer of made phrases", because the titles of his songs took popular expressions that, in return, ended up painted or referred to in trucks and cars alluding to Baena's compositions. He also composed classical and symphonic music: 12 preludes for piano, several pieces for violin and a concert for viola and orchestra.
