Biography

Delfín was born in a small town named San Antonio in Guamote, Ecuador.

Delfins fame came in December 2006 [3][4] when his song Torres Gemelas (Twin Towers) was uploaded to YouTube. By January 4, it had been heard by 250,000 people,[1] and by March 24, the several copies of the video on YouTube had over a million views and thousands of comments.[3]

Discography

In 2003, he recorded his second album "El Gallito". It contained songs as: "El Gallito Bandido", "El Delfincito", "Cuando Me Vaya", and "Cuaya Huay".[citation needed] A year later he created his first video, the same that was posted on Internet.[citation needed]

Viral videos

In 2006, "Torres Gemelas" (Twin Towers) was released. While the song is tragic in nature, the subject matter being Delfin losing a loved one in the terrorist attack of 9/11, the whimsical and kitschy nature of the song as well as the poor acting in the music video has made this song a bit of an internet meme.

In April 2010 Defín Quishpe released the song "En tus Tierras Bailaré" with the two Peruvian "You-tube stars" Wendy Sulca and Tigresa del Oriente. The song received attention in Latin American media and got rapidly more than one million hits in a few weeks.[5] The song has later been called a "Youtube We are the World" by Calle 13 singer Residente.[6]
