With the musical training he picked up from various bands and sextets, Ismael Miranda built the foundation of his future professional career. He was only 19 years old when he joined the talented Fania Records family. The intense pressure exerted by the label to release a weekly production suited Ismael, who participated in these performances as a member of the chorus. It didn't take long for Larry Harlow to discover the young artist's talent and potential. He approached Ismael and offered to officially introduce him to the music world with the album "Orquesta Harlow Presenta a Ismael Miranda" ("The Harlow Orchestra Presents Ismael Miranda"). From then on, Ismael collaborated with the orchestra on successive recordings, making a name for himself as a composer. Many of the songs he wrote had a long-lasting impact, and became wildly successful with fans. By 1973, he was an established musician. He burst onto the scene with the album "Así se compone un son," which launched a new stage of his career. Now, he fronted his own band, and went on to break sales and popularity records, taking Latin America, Europe, and the United States by storm.

Conocido alrededor del mundo como “Mr. Afinque” el gran percusionista y líder de orquesta Willie Rosario se enamoro de los timbales tras presenciar un concierto del legendario Tito Puente en el famoso Palladium Ballroom en la ciudad de Nueva York.
Después de estudiar los timbales con el prestigioso Herry Adler, el joven Willie Rosario fundo su primera orquesta en 1959, e inmediatamente difundió su espectáculos en el legendario Caborrojeño en la Gran Manzana. Alcanzando una reputación sólida como un timbalero versátil, Rosario también se destaco como locutor de radio.
En 1962 las puertas se abren para Willie Rosario cuando Al Santiago—fundador de la disquera Alegre Records—lo invita a ser parte de su nueva empresa. Como parte de Alegre, Rosario viajo a través de América Latina, cementando su leyenda artística.
Hoy en día Rosario es reconocido por sus éxitos “ Too Too Much” y “El Barrio Obrero La Quince.” Su legendaria orquesta ha servido como una “universidad musical” para varias generaciones de músicos y hoy en día, Rosario se consagra como uno de los artistas más vitales en la música latina.

Willie Rosario a.k.a. "Mr. Afinque" (born May 6, 1930 in Coamo, Puerto Rico) is a musician, composer and bandleader of salsa music.

Héctor Juan Pérez Martínez (September 30, 1946 – June 29, 1993)was a Puerto Rican salsa singer. Lavoe was born and raised in the Machuelito sector of Ponce, Puerto Rico. Early in his life, he attended a local music school and developed an interest inspired by Jesús Sánchez Erazo. He moved to New York City when he was seventeen years old.[3] On his first week living in the city, he worked as the vocalist of a sextet formed by Roberto García.[3] During this period, he performed with several other groups, including Orquesta New York, Kako All-Stars, and the Johnny Pacheco band.
In 1967, Lavoe joined Willie Colón's band and performed as the band vocalist.With the Willie Colón band, Lavoe recorded several hit songs, including El malo and Canto a Borinquen. While working with the Willie Colón band, Lavoe became addicted to drugs and began to habitually be late when scheduled to perform with the band. Colón eventually decided to not work with Hector on stage but they still remained good friends and made music in the studio together. Lavoe moved on to become a soloist and formed his own band, where he performed as lead vocalist. As a soloist Lavoe recorded several hits including El cantante, Bandolera and El periódico de ayer ('El Cantante' was composed by Ruben Blades, 'Bandolera' by Colón and 'Periódico' by Tite Curet Alonso.) During this period he was frequently featured as an invited vocalist in the Fania All Stars, and recorded numerous tracks with the band.
In 1979, Lavoe underwent a deep depression and sought the help of a high priest (of the Santeria faith) to attend to his drug addiction. After a short rehabilitation, he relapsed following the deaths of his father, son and mother in law. These events, along with being diagnosed with HIV, affected Lavoe to the point of attempting suicide by jumping off the balcony of a hotel room.Lavoe survived and recorded an album before his health began failing. Lavoe died in June 29, 1993, from a complication of AIDS.

There is nothing better in music than to have an original product of one of the best salsa singers of the salsa music. Every song is beautiful and is awesome to sit down with good friends or family to remember "The Good Old Days"...


Héctor Lavoe (30 septembre 1946-29 juin 1993), né Héctor Juan Pérez Martinez à Ponce (Porto Rico), était un chanteur salsa très connu dans les années 1970 et les années 1980.
Son nom est fréquemment associé à celui du tromboniste Willie Colón. Grâce à sa voix perchée (qui ressemblait à celle d'un jeune homme), son excellent sens du timing et son phrasé, Lavoe est considéré par beaucoup de fans de musique latine comme un des meilleurs chanteurs salsa de tout les temps, et il est surnommé El cantante de los cantantes (Le chanteur des chanteurs).
Son père, Luis Pérez, a chanté et joué de la guitare avec des orchestres et trios locaux et a donné ses premières leçons de musique au jeune Héctor. Plus tard il a suivi l'École Libre (gratuite) de Musique de Ponce. À 14 ans, Héctor a commencé à chanter professionnellement avec un orchestre de 10 musiciens dans un club local.
En 1963, à 17 ans, Lavoe part à New York, où il a trouvé du travail avec un sextet. Lavoe a rencontré Willie Colón en juin 1966 et est devenu le chanteur principal du groupe de ce dernier. Leur partenariat était très réussi; entre 1967 et 1975, les deux ont enregistré une douzaine d'albums, produisant beaucoup de chansons à succès devenues des classiques de la salsa. Après que l'orchestre se soit séparé, Colón a produit un certain nombre d'albums couronnés de succès de Lavoe : "La voz" (1975) (l'impresario Arturo Francis a surnommé Hector La voz (La voix) "Lavoe", en s'inspirant du surnom de Felipe "La Voz" Rodriguez), "Recordando a Felipe Pirela"(1979),"El Sabio"(1980),"Que sentimiento"(1981)et "Vigilante" (1983), "Strikes back" (1987).
Lavoe était aussi un membre de la Fania All-Stars et il a enregistré avec eux entre 1968 et 1988. Il est mort du SIDA le 29 juin 1993, à 46 ans seulement
