Oscar D'Leon estrena nuevo sencillo, su segundo corte promocional "Hasta Que Vuelvas" extraido del album "Tranquilamente...Tranquilo"
About Me:
Oscar D'León was born in Caracas, Venezuela, on July 11, 1943. A long-time resident of the Parroquia Antímano section of the city, he took interest in bass guitar early on, and would alternate in jobs as an auto mechanic (during the day) and bass player (at night) for local conjuntos. As he acquired a reputation for being a solid bass player, clever improviser (he would improvise entire songs on the spot) and dynamic singer (he used to dance with a double bass onstage while singing, a not-so-subtle physical feat), he founded orchestras such as La Golden Star and music groups such as Los Psicodélicos. Together with percussionist José Rodríguez and trombone players César Monge and José Antonio Rojas, he formed La Dimensión Latina in 1972.
Four years later, D'León quit the group and created La Salsa Mayor. With La Salsa Mayor he recorded merengue standard "Juanita Morell", a version that became a huge radio hit in Puerto Rico. He later founded La Crítica in 1978 in memory of the legends of Cuban Rumba, such as Miguelito Valdés . For a while, D'León would alternate singing with both orchestras, giving him enough flexibility to stay working constantly.
Just to add, the statement 'In Spanish, he is known as El Sonero del Mundo ("the Son Singer of the World") or as El Sonero Mayor ("the Great Son Singer").' In Spanish, sonero actually means 'improvisor'. It is a term used in Cuba, in Puerto Rico and among many other Caribbean and Latin-Americans to describe the singer's singing technique.
