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.
Es Así
Ricardo Montaner Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Cuando el sereno la empapa
Como la flor de los montes sí
Frotando como cascada
Como sabiendo que estaba aquí
Por ti esperando en la vía
Yo te iba abriendo los brazos sí
Te metiste por mis poros
Para alegrarme la vida
Se unieron dos solitarios más
Para hacerse compañía
Un giro de amor me has dado
Desde la tierra a la luna
Hoy tu sol transpira para mí
Agua bendita en mi boca
Yo te amo
Y por tu amor me hago santo
Porque con este gran milagro
Olvido todos mis pecados
ES así es así
Como llenaste mi vida
Es así es así
Con el amor que me das
Yo respiro
Es así es así
Como me amarro a tu vida
Es así es así
Con el amor que me das
Yo respiro por ti oho
Como sabiendo que estaba aquí
Por ti esperando en la vía
Yo te iba abriendo los brazos sí
Yo iba pensando en tu venida
Un giro de amor me has dado
Desde la tierra a la luna
Hoy tu sol transpira para mí
Agua bendita en mi boca
Yo te amo
Y por tu amor me hago santo
Porque con este gran milagro
Olvido todos mis pecados
Es así es así
Como llenaste mi vida
Es así es así
Con el amor que me das
Yo respiro
In "Es Asi", Ricardo Montaner sings about how his lover has filled his life with love and meaning. He starts by comparing the serenity of the breeze when it is soaked with dew to the blooming of flowers in the mountains. He then talks about how he was waiting for his lover, and as she came, he opened his arms to embrace her. He feels that his lover has entered his soul and has made him a better person. Montaner describes the power of love by saying that it is like a miracle that has made him forget all his sins. The chorus emphasizes that the love he has received is the reason he can breathe and live fully.
The song's lyrics are straightforward and celebrate love and how it has brought meaning and joy to the singer's life. It also touches upon the transcendental nature of love and how it can make one believe in miracles again. The comparisons Montaner uses in the song, such as the serenity of the breeze and blooming flowers, add a layer of poeticism to the song. He repeats his "Es Asi" statement throughout the song, emphasizing that love is part of the natural order of things and how it has transformed his life.

Para mi es la mejor canción de Montaner... No tan popular como otros de sus éxitos y aún no entiendo porqué... Se me eriza la piel cada vez que la escucho... Yo te amo, te amo y por tu amor me hago santo...
Aurelio Puebla

"Yo te amo, y por tu amor me hago santo, porque con este gran milagro olvido todos mis pecados"... quien ha sentido amor real lo entiende, esta canción es una obra maestra.

@yinya de rodriguez cualquiera que de hecho presta atención a la letra se da cuenta de que aunque hace referencias a agua bendita, milagros y pecados no es para Dios, para más pistas la frase "Se unieron dos solitarios más para hacerse compañía" lo deja claro, aparte de que salió al mercado en 1997, años antes de que la carrera y la vida de Montaner dieran un giro más espiritual.

Esta canción para Dios no se trata de amor hombre mujer
