Hector & Tito

Last updated: 2 days ago

Hector & Tito, aka Los Bambinos, were a pioneering reggaeton duo in existance from 1998 to 2003, after which the two split and went on to lucrative solo careers as <a href="spotify:artist:2TjgzYcbTdsZjbT9OItIeB">Hector</a> and Tito. Thereafter each referred to himself as "El Bambino" in accordance with their previous nicknames, though <a href="spotify:artist:2TjgzYcbTdsZjbT9OItIeB">Hector</a>, somewhat confusingly, changed his name a couple times, first to <a href="spotify:artist:2TjgzYcbTdsZjbT9OItIeB">Hector Bambino "El Father"</a> (Los Rompe Discotekas, 2006) and then simply to <a href="spotify:artist:2TjgzYcbTdsZjbT9OItIeB">Hector el Father</a> (The Bad Boy, 2007). Just before Hector & Tito split in 2003, they won a Latin Billboard Award for Latin Rap Album of the Year, for A la Reconquista (2002). In 2005, around the time reggaeton was growing in popularity and commercial clout, Machete Music in conjunction with VI Music released Season Finale 1998-2003, a compilation of highlights from the duo's back catalog. Tito signed with EMI Televisa, debuting in 2006 with Top of the Line; <a href="spotify:artist:2TjgzYcbTdsZjbT9OItIeB">Hector</a>, more notably, signed with Roc la Familia (a division of Def Jam under the reign of <a href="spotify:artist:3nFkdlSjzX9mRTtwJOzDYB">Jay-Z</a>) and debuted later that same year with a CD mixtape, Los Rompe Discotekas. ~ Jason Birchmeier, Rovi
