the fireworks

career.
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

Stars hired
Luisito Rosario
to be his lead
vocalist for

in Caracas,
Venezuela to
thousands of
