In
1996, the legendary Larry
Harlow from the Fania All Stars hired Luisito
Rosario to be lead vocalist for his orchestra.
It's been fourteen successful years, and they are
still going strong.
They performed in Caracas, Venezuela to thousands
of salsa lovers. Luisito
recorded "Tumba y Bongo" in 2002 for Larry
Harlow's 35th anniversary CD where he, along with Mr.
Nestor Sanchez recorded all the background vocals.
In 1996 Luisito joined the popular salsa band in
New York City " Grupo Hechizo", and recorded
lead vocals in their 1998 CD "Sin Limites"
which charted in the Top Five of the New York City
record pools. Luisito
toured the Caribbean Islands and the US as Hechizo's
lead vocalist. Luisito's
popularity exploded in 1999 when he toured Europe, and
the US with Los
Hermanos Moreno..
Luisito
teamed up with Mambo City Music LTD in 2001, and
launched his first solo CD with "Jurame",
showcasing his salsa roots. The CD included arrangements
by Cuto Soto and Lucho Cueto, whom have arranged for
Marc Anthony and Tito Nieves. Luisito’s sophomore recording "RUMBA
DEL BARRIO"
showcases the type of salsa that's popular with the
hardcore salseros. This new production includes Charanga,
Son, Mambo, Guajira and just straightforward old school
style salsa! But
very special to Luisito, was a song dedicated to the
late queen of salsa CELIA
CRUZ.
He also had the honor of singing this song to
Celia's husband Pedro Knight on the highest rated
morning show DESPIERTA
AMERICA!!
"Rumba Del Barrio" was dedicated to all
the salsa lovers of the world.
Now
comes his latest production, "Casino
Rueda",
which not only promises to be his best, but will also
pay homage to the classic sound of the "New York
Salsa Era", as well as afford him the opportunity
to finally become the "breakout" salsa star
that he so readily deserves.
"Casino
Rueda"
will without a doubt reach the top of all salsa
playlists worldwide, and will once again give salsa
enthusiasts, and dancers alike, something to be excited
about. The
CD will include three English tracks, three romantic
tracks, and of course, four hard hitting "Salsa
Dura" tracks.
"Casino
Rueda"
will feature the group "Croma Latina" from
Italy, Salsa/R&B recording artist Nino Valentino,
and arrangements by Tommy Villariny, Jose Madera, Julito
Alvarado, Kevin Rodriguez, Emo Luciano, and Ronnie
Amoros. Luisito Rosario’s "Casino
Rueda"
is the "cream of the crop", and truly reflects
the passion and pride that this artist has shown and has
given to his audiences for some time now, and most
definitely, for years to come!
