German Casas (born May 27, 1939) is a Chilean singer.

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]

Despite not having any major hits in decades, German Casas has continued touring around Chile, and to other South American countries. Many Chilean fans see him as a legend whose status is as big as that of Julio Iglesias, Elton John or Luis Miguel, for example.

In 2004, Casas was honored at a nationally televised event, for his forty years of work in Chilean show business.
