Luisito Rosario
Luisito Rosario is a youthful, experienced singer who possesses sensual good looks and a commanding stage presence. He came into the world with a bang on July 4, and was raised in Hoboken, New Jersey, home to the one and only Frank Sinatra. For Luisito, the Latin music flowing across the Hudson from New York inspired the natural musicality of his Puerto Rican blood. Luisito eventually moved to the city of Allentown, Pennsylvania, where he now lives and focuses on his musical career. Luisito's first recording in 1995 with Pennsylvania group Sol y Mar showcased salsa, cumbia and merengue originals and classics. Soon after the CD release, New York got word about this talented singer, and in 1996 the legendary Larry Harlow, from the Fania All-Stars, hired him as a vocalist for his orchestra. In 2002 Luisito recorded "Tumba Y Bongo" in Larry Harlow's 35th Anniversary album, which is scheduled to be released in 2003. He also recorded all the background vocals together with Nestor Sanchez. Luisito still makes appearances with Harlow's "Latin Legends Band," and provides lead vocals for the collaborative project "¡Sofrito!" with story teller David Gonzalez. Also in 1996, Luisito joined popular salsa band "Grupo Hechizo," and recorded lead vocals on their 1998 recording, "Sin Limites," which charted in the Top Five of the New York Record Pool. As Hechizo's bandleader and lead vocalist, Luisito continues to tour the Caribbean and Northeast regions of the US with the group. Luisito's popularity took off in 1998, when Los Hermanos Moreno invited him to tour Europe and the United States. He also appeared during their "Amor Total" support tour in 2000. In 2001 Luisito teamed up with Mambo City Music, Ltd and launched his first solo career with a recording that showcases his salsa roots.
