Oscar D'León, "El Leon de la Salsa," was born in the Caracas' neighborhood
of Etamin where he began to show interest in percussion instruments and
to sing at social activities as a young child.
His capacity to improvise, the texture of his voice and
his intense love for the music, make Oscar D'León a born "sonero"
in the best Latin tradition. Today, his name is recognized all over the
world. In his home country of Venezuela, he is an idol – not only
as a singer and musician, but also as a self-made man of humble origin
who overcame his circumstances and achieved fame and fortune.

The
driving force in the life of Oscar D'León was his immense desire
to be a musician. He was influenced by the great masters of Cuban music,
especially by the great sonero Beny Moré and La Sonora Matancera. His
other influences come from the New York sound of the 60's, particularly
Eddie Palmieri and the Fania generation.
Oscar D'León has established his name and fame
with an intense musical career, starting in 1972 as part of the popular
orchestra Dimensión Latina where he stayed for four years. His first
recording and his first hit was a 45" called "Pensando En Tí."
After leaving, he formed his own band, La Salsa Mayor and from
then on he has always played with his own orchestra.

In
1977, he recorded his first solo album, "La Salsa Mayor" and
began the process of consolidating his name and fame. In 1978, he came
for the first time to New York, preceded by the music of what is perhaps
his best selling album ever, "El Más Grande."
Despite having gone through several stages during his
style development, such as the so-called "sensual salsa" and
after flirting again with the old Dimensión Latina style, Oscar D'León's
style has remained original and in great demand. In 1990 alone, he
participated in festivals around the world, including events in Belgium,
Holland, France, Canada, Japan, Miami and New York.
