Tulio Enrique was attracted to music from an early age when he used to create, according to him, turntables, making a cornet from cardboard, on which he put a sewing machine needle, sliding on a record, to get sound.
In 1947, after his eyesight was examined in the United States by Spanish ophthalmologist Ramón Castroviejo, he was diagnosed with blindness due to optic nerve atrophy.
Tulio Enrique's obsession was playing the organ, as he frequently listened to Radio Caracas, where he often heard the Panamanian organist Salvador Muñoz.
Hits like La Pollera Amarilla (The Yellow Skirt), Ron y Tabaco (Rum and Tobacco), El Cable Submarino (The Submarine Cable), La Pegajosa (The Sticky), Este es el Ritmo (This is the Rhythm) and others, captivated those who listened.
Audiences in the Americas, Asia and Europe enjoyed the songs performed by León during his musical career in his short lifetime.
