José Ángel Espinoza

José Ángel Espinoza Aragón (2 October 1919 – 6 November 2015), also known as Ferrusquilla, was a Mexican singer-songwriter and film actor. He was the father of actress Angélica Aragón. There is a statue of him along Olas Altas Promenade in Mazatlán, Mexico. He also was a composer affiliated to the SACM (Society of Authors and Composers of Mexico).
Espinoza was born in Choix, Sinaloa on 2 October 1919, though the family moved to after the death of his mother. The family moved once again to Los Mochis, where Espizona attended secondary school. He went to Mazatlán in 1935 to continue his studies before going to Mexico City two years later to pursue a medical degree. However, Espinoza became enamored by the radio industry and began working at XEQ-AM in 1938.
