Antony Santos, the Dominican artist widely recognized as el Mayimbe and one of the genre’s top sellers, entered tropical music after sharpening his vocal technique and acquiring guitar proficiency.

Santos achieved his decisive breakthrough in 1994 by releasing the trio of albums Corazón Bonito, Mayimbe, and Cójelo Ahi.
