History

Luis "El Che" Tejada had the advantage of being multilingual - in addition to Spanish, he spoke perfect English, French, and Italian - which provided opportunities to make his way in the cinematographies of the main producers of films in Europe and America. After a difficult beginning, he managed to get into international film, developing a filmography of approximately 200 films shot in 47 countries, although the majority in Spain and Italy.
