Amparo Montes (born Amparo Meza Cruz) was one of Mexico's most popular bolero singers. She born in Tapachula, Chiapas, to Tirso Esteban Meza Vela and Marina Cruz Grajales. Her father was a judge, and her mother liked to sing. In 1938, the family moved to Mexico City and Amparo found work as a secretary.
Her career began in 1941, when she sang "Altivez" on the XEQ radio program Quiero trabajar. In 1943, she changed her stage name and was hired as a regular performer on XEW, Mexico's top radio station. The following year she released her first recording and sang two songs in the film Nosotros (1945).
In the late 1940s Agustín Lara, Mexico's most famous songwriter, asked her if she could sing with him on his radio program. She accepted and sang two of his songs, "Nadie" and "Limosna". Pleased with Montes' voice and interpretation, Lara said, "No one sings 'Nadie' (no one in Spanish) like Amparo Montes". "Nadie" became one of Montes' greatest hits and signature songs.
Montes went on to record many 78 rpm singles and more than 20 studio albums. She appeared in several films and performed on dozens of radio and television programs. In 1970, she opened her own nightclub, La Cueva de Amparo Montes, where she sang for more than 30 years.
