David Záizar was a Mexican ranchera singer and actor in many Mexican films. He was active from the 1950's up until his death in 1982 due to a respiratory infection. David Záizar had one of the most extraordinary voices that ever knew Mexican folk music. Without a doubt, he had the most beautiful falsetto voice of ranchera music. What earned him the title of the "Rey del Falsete" or "King of the Falsetto was the fact that he displaced Miguel Aceves Mejía, who had the title until Záizar's apearance on the ranchera music scene. His voice is known today as having had beauty, interpretative quality, tone, and plenty of feeling and emotion. Initially, he joined forces with his brother, Juan Záizar, with whom he formed a duo. Prior to this, they had both been working on individual project, especially Juan, who was a renowned composer and singer. They had only sang together for very special occasions, like the homage and tribute that they participated in, in honor of the famous ranchera composer, also from Jalisco, "Pepe Guizar." Out of this union came the famous duo, Los Hermanos Záizar (the Záizar brothers). Like most Mexican folk songs, the majority of those interpreted by David that we have left today are about lost loves, unfaithful women, Mexico and its people, and several other topics commonly present throughout ranchera music.

His songs are considered an integral part of the Mexican musical heritage and are comparable, for instance, to Woody Guthrie's influence on American folk music.

In addition to his own hit recordings, many of his songs have been recorded successfully by renowned recording artists from around the Spanish-speaking world, most notably by Miguel Aceves Mejía, Pedro Infante, Rocío Durcal, Javier Solís, Pedro Fernández, Jorge Negrete, José Alfredo Jiménez, Vikki Carr, Luis Miguel, Lola Beltrán, Alejandro Fernandez, Chavela Vargas, Maná, Antonio Aguilar, Vicente Fernández, Julio Iglesias, Joaquín Sabina, Manolo García, Los Tigres del Norte, and Gualberto Castro.

-David Záizar was a [[Mexican]] [[ranchera]] [[singer]] and actor in many Mexican films. He was active from the 1950's up until his death in 1982 due toa respiratory infection. Alongside his brother, [[Juan Záizar]], they formed the duo, [[Los Hermanos Záizar]] (the Záizar brothers). He is often referred to as "el rey del falsete," or the "king of the falsetto," for his incorporation of the singing style into his songs. While singing at normal pitch, he suddenly rose to high-pitched verses, adding a sense of sadness to a lot of his songs. In fact, the majority of his songs are about lost loves and unfaithful women, a characteristic that many other ranchera songs share.
