Who was Adán López Dávila?

Adán López Dávilam was a Mexican-born composer for Los Acosta.

Adán López Dávila was born in San Luis Potosí in 1962. He started his musical career when he was 14 years old. The poetry of Pablo Neruda and Sor Juana Inés de la Cruz inspired him to pursue a career as a composer. He consequently started singing songs that he wrote.

He met Ernesto and Ricardo Acosta, the leaders of Los Acosta, in the 1980s. Together, they started a journey that produced songs like “Historias de Amor,” “Caprichos de Mujer,” “Borracho de tristeza,” “El amor de mi vida,” and “Tonto corazón,” among others.

Members of Los Acosta expressed their sorrow over the passing of their partner on social media and reaffirmed that they were by his side during his final days in the hospital, where he ultimately passed away.

A few words of farewell were said on his behalf by the team, of which he was the author of several successes. Los Acosta posted on their Facebook page, “With a lump in my throat and a broken heart, I tell you see you soon my great friend, poet, and composer.”

Ricardo Gallardo, the governor of his home state, expressed regret over the passing of the Mexican musician, whose career peaked in the 1990s. “San Luis Potosí is mourning the departure of Adán López Dávila, composer of the group Los Acosta. We are very sorry for the loss of his family, friends, friends and fans. May he rest in peace,” the Potosino politician wrote on Twitter.
