Venezuelan singer/songwriter, actor, and dancer Carlos Baute started getting involved in popular music after joining a local band called los Chamos. In the acting field, his debut came while playing a role in the Latin soap opera Destino de Mujer. In 1994, Carlos Roberto Baute Jimenez signed up to a major label and made an Afro-Caribbean record titled Origenes I. A second album, called Origenes II, followed in 1997, featuring the hit single "Te Quise Olvidar." After releasing the successful Yo Naci Para Quererte and 2001's Dame de Eso, which included the Latin pop hit "El Angelito," Carlos Baute became a top-selling artist in Venezuela and Spain. ~ Drago Bonacich, All Music Guide
