About Moisés Canelo

Moisés Canelas Withol, better known as Moisés Canelo, was a Honduran singer and songwriter. After recording their first single in the seventies, Moisés and the group became famous in Honduras and were invited to make musical tours, including his first international tour to the United States. A Nicaraguan recording firm became interested in Canelo and invited him to record an LP (Long Play) alone. Moisés Canelo's song "Yo también soy sentimental" from this recording was heard on Central American radios in the seventies and early eighties.
