Five years since the death of Martín Elias: some of his songs to remember him

It was on April 14, 2017 when Martin Elias — son of Diomedes Diaz — died. At that time a car accident put an end to his life. The Valduparense, like his progenitor, also performed artistically as a singer of vallenato and among his musical legacy there are several songs that undoubtedly bear the title of being popular, successful. In view of the fifth anniversary of his death, here he is reminded of some of his most important issues.

10 reasons to love you: This song is included in the list of songs on the album 'La historia continua', which dates back to 2014.

My ex: This song plays on the record that the singer from vallenato released in 2015 and is called 'Unparables'. If you talk about the views on YouTube that the music video has on the song, today it is about 34 million views.

Open up: This song is older than the previous ones, its release date was in 2011 and the album it belongs to is 'El terremoto musical'.

You finally arrived: The album that includes this song is called 'Sin Limites', listened to by the public since mid-2017 and released posthumously, a couple of months after the death of the artist vallenato.

Cancelled from my life: The album 'Unparables' is playing again in this Top 5, now on account of this song, whose music video on YouTube gathers more than 70 million views.

The journalist, who was married to the singer at the time of his death, published on the morning of April 14 a video that contains different photographs and videos of some family time with Martín Elias. It is worth remembering that, the couple had a daughter named Paula.

However, this video was not published alone, since Jaimes also wrote some words in the caption of the post, with which he realized how difficult some moments have been in the face of the artist's absence.

“April 14, 2017, that day you left our lives forever. My friend, my boyfriend, my husband and the best father I could choose for Paula left. Today is not an easy date for me, since that day my life changed completely, I was not the same again, sometimes I am fragile and at other times so strong... Nothing has been easy since you are gone. Thank God for allowing me to start a family by your side, thank you for making me part of your life and for choosing me as your wife and mother of the girl you so longed for in your life.”

Throughout a little more than three months, the Colombian audience was able to watch 'El Hijo del Cacique'; to be more exact, the date selected in the calendar for its premiere was September 13, 2021 and the day that ended was January 7, 2022. This bio-novel about the singer was developed before the public on the screen of Caracol Televisión.
