Manuel Esperon is known for his music written for the films "Ay Jalisco, no te rajes!" "El Penon de las Animas," and "Hay un nino en su future." Other Esperon compositions have become Latin standards, and have appeared on radio stations and in soap operas.

Although he retired in 1987, his songs continue to be used in filmmaking and television productions.
