Héctor Luis Delgado Román (born September 4, 1979) is a Puerto Rican rapper, singer and record producer, formerly known by his stage names Héctor el Father and Héctor el Bambino. After retirement, founded Maranatha Radio Ministries in Río Grande, Puerto Rico. In his recent work as a preacher he has touched many lives, moving many rappers to follow in his footsteps including Tito el Bambino and Almighty. He has also been prolific in the field of linguistics, coining terms like calenturri, as well as phrases including sácala, dale úsala (which has seen widespread use in get-out-the-vote campaigns recently, as well as foreplay, and less so in the original sense of gangster violence). He announced his retirement in 2008, but his series of Farewell Concerts went until May 2010. He rose to fame as a member of the duo Héctor & Tito. As a producer Delgado has worked with several reggaeton producers, as well as Emilio Estefan. In 2018, he made a comeback with his autobiographic movie Conocerás la verdad, released on March 22, 2018. In 2021, he returned to music under his real name Héctor Delgado, with his third studio album La Hora Cero which contains only religious music.
