The beginning
With the release of the single “María Guayando”, in 1980, began the musical history of this merengue institution that was born in their native Villa de Salvaleón de Higüey. Later, when they arrived in Santo Domingo, they released their first record production creating hits such as “Las Locas”, “María Guayando”, “Vengo Acabando”, “Bonifacio”, which is popularly known as “El Lápiz”, among others.
After the great success of that first album, productions such as: “Fuera de serie”, “Otra vez”, “Bomba”, “Insuperables”, “Los mundialmente sabrosos”, “Los dueños del swing”, “Y es fácil”, “Bomba 2000”, among others, have kept this musical group in the taste of the people for more than four decades.
