WHEREAS, The Senate of the State of Texas is pleased to
recognize vocalist Carlos Cuevas, who has been named Mr. Amigo
for 2010; and
WHEREAS, For 40 years, the Mr. Amigo honoree has been
chosen from a field of candidates of Mexican leaders and
entertainers, whose endeavors and accomplishments are personified
by such former winners as Angelica Vale, Cantinflas, and
Veronica Castro; and
WHEREAS, Known as the King of Bolero, Carlos Cuevas began
his recording career in 1981 with the release of Gatita Asustada;

toured the world, performing with such artists as former Mr. Amigo,
Armando Manzanero, and renowned tenor, Plácido Domingo; and

blend of boleros and operatic arias; this unique combination of
sounds and cultures broke new ground in the industry and
solidified his place in music history; and

legacy of Latin America; now, therefore, be it
RESOLVED, That the Senate of the State of Texas, 82nd
