Valentín Elizalde

Valentín Elizalde Valencia (Spanish: [balenˈtin eliˈsalde βaˈlensja]; 1 February 1979 – 25 November 2006) was a Mexican singer. Nicknamed "El Gallo de Oro" (The Golden Rooster), he specialized in Banda and regional mexican music and was known for his off-key style.

Some of his songs were narcocorridos, eulogizing Mexican drug lords like Vicente Carrillo Fuentes.
