Amílcar Boscán

Amílcar Boscán, born on May 17, 1960, in Maracaibo, Venezuela, began his musical journey as the lead vocalist of Guaco, contributing to their transformation into a national sensation with hits like "Un Cigarrito y Un Café" and "Cepillao" from 1979 to 1984. In 1985, he launched his solo career with Apariencias, which included standout tracks like "Amor de Madrugada" and "Señorita de 15 Años." His breakthrough came in 1989 with Solamente Amílcar, featuring the salsa romántica classic "Faltaba Una Razón" alongside hits like "Ámame" and "Patrón de Amor y Guerra." His 1993 album Durando, which included the duet "Los Olores del Amor" with Willie Colón, marked his peak in the salsa scene, leading to international recognition across Latin America and the U.S. In 1994, he paid tribute to Héctor Lavoe with El Caribe en Nueva York, while Todo Es Relativo (1998) introduced "La Mula Aérea," later reworked by Colón. A prolific composer, he wrote numerous songs for Colón, including "Caer en Gracia" and "Talento de Televisión." After years dedicated to law, he returned in 2014 with Revelaciones, reasserting his place in salsa with a fresh, modern sound.
