Dante Vargas was born in Peru in the city of Trujillo, where he started to explore the infinite world of music, as a trumpet player, which would take him to visit the most important stages of the world. His professional career started from a very early age in Colombia, a country which welcomed him with open arms and to which he is deeply thankful since there he formed his family and professionally got the chance to work with world renown artists such as: Fruko y sus Tesos, La Sonora Dinamita, El Grupo Gale, Los Titanes, Grupo Niche, El Combo De Las Estrellas, El Tropicombo and many more, to which he can take pride of being part in their recordings as he is actually doing with La Sonora Carruseles, to which he is producer and musical director.

Thanks to his vast experience and professionalism, his career has been taking him to new horizons which forced him to relocate to the city of Miami and place him in a very high level. Miami has allowed him to place himself in exclusive places in the musical world, not only in the tropical genre but also in other genres such as Pop, participating in the work and productions of famous artists such as Marc Anthony , Sergio George, Cristian Castro, Sin Banderas, Alejandro Sanz, in the musical of ‘Selena Vive’, Kumbia All Stars, Oscar De Leon, Olga Tañon, Andy Montañez, Tito Nieves , Luis Fonsi, Obby Bermudez, La India, Dyango, Paty Manterola, Mocedades, Palito Ortega, Charlie Cruz, Frankie Negron, Kiuldret, Arthur Hanlon, LeTy Perez, Rey Ruiz, Maelo Ruiz Etc…
