David Marez

David Marez (born August 18, 1949), known as "La Voz de Oro",[1] is an American singer.

[1] During the 1980s, he briefly fronted the Hot Tamales Band but departed before a scheduled wedding performance.

This exit led to the discovery of Shelly Lares–the groom's sister-in-law–who credits Marez's departure as a pivotal moment in her entry into the Tejano music scene.

His streak continued at the 1990 Tejano Music Awards, when he was recognized as Male Vocalist of the Year.

[1] Later, he reunited with the Royal Jesters, releasing the reunion albums We Go Together (2004) and Odyssey: The Journey (2005).
