Wilfrido Vargas – Merenguero
wilfrido vargas
Wilfrido Vargas perhaps single handily gave birth to the most amount of acts that became great in their own right
some that you may not realise until we point them out. Here are some groups that he formed that became successful: Las Chicas Del Can, Altamira Banda Show. In a career that spans all the way from the early 70′s, he is known as one of the originators and crucial to the popularization of the music and is known as “El Rey Del Merengue” (The king of Merengue).
His biggest single was “El Jardinero”, and also one of my favorite tracks of all time, extremely innovative for its time featured what was perhaps the first Dominican Rap, wait for it….. IN ENGLISH! Horrible English I may say, but a great chance taken that paid off at the end.
