Biography

Born in Guadalajara, in the Mexican state of Jalisco, Coalo Zamorano is the third of four siblings, born from the marriage between Juan and Laura Zamorano. In 1986, the Zamorano family moved to Durango, in the midst of a strong family crisis. In this same city, Coalo and his family were evangelized by his neighbor, Marcos Witt, so his mother converted to the gospel, beginning to attend the Bethel Church. Accompanying his mother at Bethel Church, he also converted to the gospel. In 1994, Coalo married Lorena Warren, Marcos Witt's sister on his mother's side, and they have two daughters: Lorene and Rebeca. [6]

Years later, through his friendship and his closeness to Marcos' ministry, Coalo began to awaken his own musical talents. The friendship also led him to learn about the activities of the CanZion record label, owned by Marcos Witt.
