Los Hermanos Rosario (The Rosario Brothers in English) is a merengue music band, originally consisting of brothers Toño Rosario, Pepe, Rafa and Luis.
Los Hermanos Rosario is an emblematic Merengue band from the Dominican Republic. The orchestra became Los Hermanos Rosario on 1 May 1978, Labor Day. At that time, the 7 brothers debuted with the municipal authorities in a ceremony in the town Salva Leon de Higuey, a town on the edge of the eastern part of the Dominican Republic .
Shortly thereafter, Los Hermanos Rosario began a quest in search of artistic success. They developed their activities initially in their native town and in some cities in the east of the country. An important start for the brothers was being hired by a teacher in Chiquitín Payan Hotel Romana to enliven activities at Casa de Campo.
In 1980, Los Hermanos Rosario recorded their first single "Maria Guayando" which quickly caught the attention of the public. They decided to move to the capital city and released their first album thus resulting in great success. Their first album contained these hit titles: "Las Locas," "María Guayando," "Vengo Acabando," "Bonifacio," y "El Lápiz."
In 1983, the group suffered a tremendous loss when the leader, pianist, and musical director, Pepe Rosario died. This situation forced the Hermanos Rosario to suspend their activities for a while and even caused the members to think of ending their musical career.
Fortunately, Los Hermanos Rosario were able to bounce back from their loss. After the loss of a brother, a mentor, and an outstanding musician, the brothers rose out of the ashes and placed themselves at the top of the artistic scene. In 1987, they launched a new album titled "Acabando" which contained songs that have surpassed the time barrier. These titles include: "Borrón y Cuenta Nueva," "Adolescente,"and "La Luna Coqueta.“
A successful career commenced, and Los Hermanos Rosario continued reaching new heights of popularity. Musical productions such as "Otra Vez," "Fuera de Serie," and "Insuperables" made the band one of the most listened to musicians in the Dominican Republic. Songs such as "Rubia de Fuego," "Ingrata," "Mi Tonto Amor," "Bomba," "Cumandé," "Loquito Por Ti," "Dime," "Esa Morena," "Bríndame Una Copa," "Desde Que la Ví," "Mil Horas," and "Pecadora" kept the band in the spotlight. The song "Pecadora" was included in the soundtrack of the film Tacones Lejanos, a Spanish film directed by Pedro Almodóvar.
Los Hermanos Rosario launched another album in 1993 titled "Los Mundialmente Sabrosos." The album single, "Amor, Amor" reached number one on the Tropical music charts in the United States, Puerto Rico, The Dominican Republic, Central America, Venezuela and Colombia. "Amor, Amor" situated the brothers in Billboard Magazine. With the second cut this production, titled Morena Ven, Los Rosario manage to become the first group within the genus Merengue, which is situated in the top 10 of Billboard Magazine (Achievement so far only achieved by Juan Luís Guerra). That song became an anthem in the Spanish world, consolidating Rosario as the orchestra's most valued and popular Dominican abroad. "The Wretched", "Oh, woman," "Slave of your love and" Good luck "make the list of items that were also successes of this production.
