Fulanito,
The Kings of Merengue Hip Hop have received some
of the largest acclaims in Latin America for being
amongst the first groups to combine Merengue (specifically
Perico Ripiao) with Bachata, Reggaeton, Rap and
Hip Hop and House, amongst other rhythms; with about
2 million albums sold throughout the world.At one
time, they were the top selling act in Colombia,
and placed on other charts including those of Japan,
Switzerland, United States and Chile. The group
was formerly known as 2 in a Room and 740 Boyz.
The
group started,in the early 1990s, the lead singer
Rafael Vargas (DOSE) started recording with accordion
player Arsenio de la Rosa when growing up in Washington
Heights, a neighborhood in Manhattan, New York.
They recorded their first song, "Guayando",
and, after several attempts of presenting their
music to a handful of large Latin labels, released
their debut CD (with the help of Cutting Records)
in 1997. This album sold more than 500,000 copies,
while only a mere 50,000 were required in order
to achieve gold status. They released El Padrino
in 1999, which experimented with other Latin rhythms,such
as Cumbia and Samba. After that they toured from
the Southern United States to Japan in only a month.
In March 2008,Fulanito toured Australia for the
second time ever, performing all their greatest
hits. Their first time to Australia was in September
2004.
