Luisito was born with a bang, and the fireworks that

are common on the 4th of July. He was raised in

Hoboken, New Jersey. He now lives in Allentown Pa.

The proximity of New York City, across the Hudson

river where salsa started in the sixties influenced

Luisito's formative years listening to all the salsa

legends of the decade.

His appreciation for the greats of the era, especially

the members of the Fania All Stars along with his

Puerto Rican roots, inspired Luisito to pursue a singing

career in this genre of Latin music.

In 1996 the legendary Larry Harlow from Fania All Stars

hired Luisito Rosario to be his lead vocalist for his

orchestra. It's been nine successful years, and they

are still going strong. They recently 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.

" 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,
