Brief bio
German Casas became famous during the 1960s and 1970s. Many of his songs hit Chilean airwaves and television, making him a household name all over his native country. He was one of Chile's best known rock and roll and twist musicians of the era.[1] In 1967 Casas was named as one of the top five Chilean singers at the national popular music awards.[2]
Some of his most famous songs are "Camina Derechito" ("Walk Straight"), "Rock del Mundial" ("Rock the World Cup"), and "Twist del Estudiante" ("Student's Twist").[3]
