Juan Carlos Jiménez Rufino (born January 11, 1951) also known as La Mona Jiménez is a cuarteto singer.
He was born in Córdoba, Argentina. Jiménez used to play Tarzan with other children as a youth.
His parents used to tell him he looked like Tarzan's chimpanzee companion Cheeta.
This is allegedly how he became known as La Mona ("the monkey") when he was 15 years old after winning a competition against 40 other singers.
He has released five albums with this band.
La flaca Marta ("Skinny Marta") from the album Para toda América ("For All America") was his first hit, which was released in 1984.
His success enabled him to purchase three brand-new vehicles and a house in Cerro de Las Rosas, as well as pay off a mortgage. Jiménez has released more than 85 CDs and sold more than 36 million copies throughout Argentina in his 40 years of musical career.
Beso con La Mona, his 62nd CD, has sold more than a hundred thousand copies in Córdoba, from kiss to kiss. In 1995 and 2005, he was given the Platinum Konex Award for the best Cuarteto soloist/band of the 1985-1995 decade, as well as the 1995-2005 decade.
