Teddy Bautista

Teddy Bautista, born in Las Palmas de Gran Canaria in 1942, is a prominent Spanish musician and former president of the SGAE (Sociedad General de Autores y Editores). Known for his pioneering contributions to pop and rock music in Spain, he gained fame in the 1960s as the leader of the band Los Canarios. Bautista's career faced a significant challenge when he was embroiled in a corruption scandal that led to accusations of mismanagement and malfeasance within the SGAE, resulting in a lengthy judicial battle. After being acquitted in 2021, he has returned to music, releasing his first album in over three decades, 'Ciclos 5.0', which reflects his deep interest in Eastern philosophy and culture.
