Real name: José Parra Del Pino

Ecuadorian singer, TV host, A&R -- also known as Pepe Parra (died in Guayaquil, 24 Nov. 2019)
With the earnings of his first 45 rpm record, Guayaquil 70, which established him as the promising singer of the new wave, he bought a Subaru car in 1970. That thin boy, two meters tall, was an artist who marked a milestone in the seventies with the hits Pa pa u mau mau and Despeinada.
He belonged to the group Los Dragones, along with the Fernardo Rosero, Francisco Paquico Pérez, Guillermo Vega, Vicente Marcillo and Alfredo Núñez del Arco.
They aroused the interest of record producers, who hired them and won the Huancavilca trophy as the most popular set in the country. The group dissolved, and Parra began a solo career and was called by Ifesa, who at that time had the representation of the RCA Víctor brand.

In 1971, he entered television as the presenter of 'La disco del 10' (TC), which was later called 'La Disco de Pepe Parra', in which national and international artists performed. He also stood out as an entrepreneur and brought Enrique and Ana, Emanuel, the Menudo group and others to the country.
Father of Adriana Parra, Danilo Parra, José Daniel Parra, La Vivi Parra
