Montaner was born as Héctor Eduardo Reglero Montaner, in Valentín Alsina, Buenos Aires, Argentina. However, he moved to Venezuela when he was 6 years old. During his youth he performed in the church chorus in the city of Maracaibo. In 1983, he released his first album titled Cada Día. Although the album was not a great success, it was a start for Montaner's career. He describes this album:"as his own version of death metal"
It wasn't until 1987 when Montaner became widely popular in Venezuela with the singles "Yo Que Te Amé" and "Vamos a Dejarlo" belonging to his self-titled album.
The following year he came out with Ricardo Montaner 2 which featured hit songs like "Tan Enamorados" and "A Donde Va El Amor". At the same time, he acted in the popular soap opera Niña Bonita. This also became a tool to make his songs known to the rest of Latin America. He won 4 platinum albums in Argentina alone. His next two albums, Un Toque de Misterio and En el Último Lugar del Mundo, became classics of the popular music in Mexico, Central and South America with hits such as "La Cima del Cielo", "Me Va a Extrañar", "Déjame Llorar" and "Será".
By 1992 Ricardo decided to hit the Spanish Caribbean with Los Hijos del Sol, an album that contained songs like "Castillo Azul", "Honda" and "Piel Adentro". That year, he also recorded a duet with Michelle, which was the Latinamerican version for the Aladdin song "A Whole New World" titled "Un Mundo Ideal".
Although Montaner has written most of his songs he has worked closely with other great song writers in Latin America such as Pablo Manavello, Ilan Chester and Oscar Gómez. But in 1994, Ricardo Montaner wrote and produced all the songs in his album Una Mañana y un Camino, which became popular only years after his release due to the lack of promotion by his new record label EMI Latin, with which Ricardo would also release Viene del Alma in 1995, an Italian pop flavored album. Also in 1995 he teamed up with Yolandita Monge to establish a Guinness World Record for performing 3 concerts in different cities on the same day in Puerto Rico. This was only possible by air transportation via helicopter from stage to stage.
By 1997, Montaner was already a well established artist in the Spanish speaking music world and could give himself the luxury of experimenting with other styles of music, without forgetting the roots that had made him so popular a decade earlier. Working one more time with Pablo Manavello and with a new record company, Warner Music proved to be the promoter Ricardo was expecting for. Es Así brought Ricardo much popularity in the United States Spanish speaking areas and allowed Montaner to tour more than 17 countries in Latin America making him even more popular in Spain. Songs like "La Mujer de Mi Vida", "Para Llorar" and "Es Así" became very popular all around.
In 1999, Montaner recorded his best album ever with his past hits decorated with the strings of the London Metropolitan Orchestra. This proved to be very successful and sold over 1 million copies. Ricardo made another attempt in 2001 with Sueño Repetido that included the bolero style song "Bésame" arranged by Bebu Silvetti which became a hit all over the world. Future works with Juan Carlos Calderón, Kike Santander and Silvetti would be the key for Ricardo to move his songs and popularity to another level in 2002, 2003 and 2004.
2002's Suma (Bolero style songs) and 2003's Prohibido Olvidar (balada pop) had fair results in terms of sales and acceptance. "Si Tuviera Que Elegir" in Suma was written for his daughter. In 2003 he broke the record for the most concerts on a same tour in the theater of Bellas Artes in Puerto Rico. He sold out 18 concerts breaking his past record of 12, which also held it Yolandita Monge and Ricardo Arjona.
In 2004, he made another album with the London Metropolitan Orchestra named Con La London Metropolitan Orchestra Vol. 2 featuring his latest hits songs and two exclusive songs such as "Desesperado" and "Esta Escrito". In 2005, Montaner launched Todo y Nada which featured the songs "Cuando a mi Lado Estas" and "Nada". For this album he's already nominated in the Latin Grammys with album and song of the year for "Cuando a mi Lado Estas". "Amarte es mi Pecado" and "Heridas de Amor" are non-album songs that have been chosen to be the theme songs on two very popular Mexican soap operas and that much popular have become these songs.
In 2007, Ricardo released Las Mejores Canciones Del Mundo produced by Adrian Posse with the songs "Hoy Tengo Ganas De Ti", "Nostalgias (Argen Version)", "Échame A Mí La Culpa (Artista Invitado: Juanes)".
In 2008, he released Las Mejores Canciones Del Mundo II - Y Algunas Mías...! with the songs "Cuando Un Amigo Se Va", "Ansiedad", "Bésame (Featuring Pasión Vega)".
Ricardo Montaner has sold over 22 million albums, and keeps breaking records in arenas and theaters all over the world.
Corazón Fracturado
Ricardo Montaner Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
De empezar esta nueva amistad
Tengo que serte sincero
Pues de un laberinto me acabo de escapar
Ella me tuvo atrapado
Como un prisionero sin agua ni pan
Se que volver a empezar es dificil
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
Tengo el corazn fracturado
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
Y t lo puedes remendar
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
Tengo la mente tan enredada
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
Y tu la puedes desenredar
Quiero olvidar el impulso
Que desde el principio a ella me llev
Ahora lo veo tan claro
Estaba en huelga su entrega de amor
Respeto mejor como das tu amor
Un cheque y a pagar al portador
Si a ti no te hubiese encontrado
En su laberinto me hubiera desgastado
The lyrics of Ricardo Montaner's song Corazon Fracturado speak about the singer's desire to start a new friendship with someone, but needing to be honest about his past experiences with love. The singer has just escaped from a maze, a metaphor for a complicated and painful relationship. He compares his experience to being a prisoner without food or water, emphasizing the depth of his suffering. Starting anew is difficult, but the singer sees the person he is speaking to as his anchor in the stormy sea. He is honest about his broken heart, and he hopes that his new friend can mend it. The singer is also open about his tangled mind, and he believes that his friend can help him sort out his thoughts.

Uno de mis temas preferidos de Montaner!! Y sin dudas "En el último lugar..." fue su mejor disco!!!!
@eliasmartinez8689
Exelente temazo y percusión sin pasar por alto el tremendo agudo de Montaner.
@eddiealexxy
Impresionante canción rítmica y sabrosa pese a su letra de dolor. Es impresionante el agudo que hace Ricardo en el minuto 2:40. Y las percusiones de Willy Chirino geniales. Por cierto esa voz grave de fondo del minuto 2:15 siempre ha estado allí. Yo compré esta producción en casette por el año 92 y se oía claramente esa voz. No se quien la cante, pero siempre he tenido la sensación de que fue el mismo Willy Chirino.
@carolinaandreaiturrietaesc9019
No pudo haber Sido mejor. Solo el para darle todo el encanto de esta canción.
