Piero De Benedictis (stage name Piero) (born April 19, 1945) is an Italian-born Argentine singer/songwriter who also holds Columbian and Italian citizenship. When he was three years old, De Benedictis family moved from Italy to Argentina. He grew up in suburban Buenos Aires, and, for a time, during his youth, he attended a Catholic seminary. Initially De Benedictis sang songs in Italian, including the single, Alla Cara, Cara Nonna, but after teaming up with lyricist Jose Tcherkaski, he won the Third Festival Buenos Aires de la Canción in 1969 with the Spanish song Como Somos, performed by Fedra and Maximiliano. He quickly became very popular in Argentina, and elsewhere in Latin America. His first two albums, the eponymous Piero, and Pedro Nadie, contained any number of hits: Mi Viejo, Juan Boliche, Vengo, Tengo la Piel Cansada de la Tarde, De Ves en Cuando Viene Bien Dormir, Pedro Nadie (which won the 1970 Rio de Janeiro Festival), Llegando, Llegaste, and Y Todo Los Dias. adf.ly/vWiBf
