Origins

With the creation of The Latin Brothers in the early 1970s and due to their successes, the directives of Discos Fuentes, headed by the brothers Pedro and José María Fuentes, supported the formation of various groups that continued to explore the new expression musical that had taken its first steps in the suburbs of New York, within the Latino communities.

The triumphant arrival to the Fruko y sus Tesos orchestra, of Álvaro José Arroyo (Joe Arroyo), and Wilson Manyoma Gil (Wilson Saoko) who stood out as revelation voices, both as solo vocalists and as a group, this produced the departure of Edulfamid Molina Díaz (Piper Pimienta), as a result of that the Fuentes brothers, owners of the record label, Discos Fuentes, promoter and co-creator of Fruko y sus Tesos met with its director, maestro Julio Ernesto Estrada ' Fruko' they made the decision to create a new orchestra so as not to lose the voice of the great singer 'Piper Pimienta', and they gave it the name The Latin Brothers.

In 1974 the first album of the orchestra The Latin Brothers appeared, with the lead voice of the one who imposed the first hits of the orchestra, Píper Pimienta Díaz.
