Luis Vargas (musician)

Luis Vargas (musician)

Luis Vargas is one of the Dominican Republic's most popular bachata musicians. When he began in the early 1990s, Antony Santos, considered by some to be one of the most influential bachata musicians of all time, was his güira player.

Vargas, who sings and plays his own lead guitar, was one of the first to play bachata with the electric guitar - an innovation which contributed to greatly expanding bachata's popularity. After very disappointing record sales more than three years in a row Luis Vargas has since retired from the business. Many think he will eventually make a comeback.

Eventually Luis Vargas did make a comeback and as most Dominican's never lost faith in his return he is just as popular now as he ever was. Antony Santos and Luis Vargas have also been known for many rivalries over the internet and on stage. He has a sister that lives in Lawrence Mass.
