Jose Luis Cantero, (born August 20, 1937, in Madrid), known professionally as El Fary, is a Spanish singer and actor.

The youngest of six children, Cantero was born into a humble family in the Las Ventas neighbourhood of Madrid, close to a famous bullring. As a boy he would play truant from school, prefering to spend time imitating his idol, the traditional copla singer Rafael Farina. It was from Farina that Cantero adopted his stage name of "El Fary". Resolute that his lack of height would not stand in the way of success he was determined that his dream of following in his idol's footsteps would one day come true.
