José Victor Rojas was born in Santiago de los
Caballeros, the 11 of December of 1948. His professional
life began in 1972, when he for the first time recorded
one of the pieces of his responsibility. "La casita",
that he sang next to Wilfrido Vargas, became a such a big
success, that it inspired the author to become
interpretor and composer, work that he maintained doing
for the rest of his life.
In the Seventies, his disapproval with the policy and the
economic course by which moved the country and the
international agitation made him to assume the social
song "brújula estética". Between the years
1973 and 1978 he founded and he directed the group Nueva
Forma, with which he crossed the country. In 1978 he
created the Flamboyán group, and with this group he
projects his music as a sample of ritmicos mestizations.
During five years he shared the scenes with the most
important figures of the Latin American song and he
appeared in Puerto Rico, Venezuela, Cuba, the United
States and Italy.
Victor Victor has been a student by the roots of merengue
and the bachata, has recreated the sort and he has
enriched it. Successes like "Mesita de noche, Ando
buscando un amor, Así es mi amor" are made with
sencilles and beautiful metaphors and have been
interpreted by the most important Dominican and foreign
vocalistas. In 1990 he lanced his fourth album, titled
"Un chin de veneno", which was in everything an
international success. In him the Caribbean rates in a
new style are amalgamated. Victor Victor has in his
statistics albums titled "Album roja, Flamboyan, con
sus flores y con sus vainas, Cotidiano, Artistas por la
paz, Inspiraciones, Tú corazón, Alma de bario".
The artist has been awarded with the prizes "Lo
Nuestro, Applause 92, Ronda, ACE, Applauso 98, ASCAP y
ONDA". Between the interpreters who have made
successes of his great compositions there are Angela
Carrasco, Celia Cruz, Guadalupe Pineda, Maridalía Hernández,
La Sophy, Charityn, Azúcar Moreno, Emmanuel, Dyango and
Danny Rivera.
