La Nueva Patrulla 15

La Nueva Patrulla 15 is a merengue group that arose following a separation of Jossie Esteban con la Patrulla 15, a Dominican group that was popular through the entire 1980s and ’90s. Founded in 1979 in the Dominican Republic by Jossie Esteban (vocals; created Esteban Grullón) and Alberto Martínez (piano; aka Ringo), the group documented a long-running group of albums in colaboration with labels Gema Information (1979-1981), Artomax Information (1982-1983), TTH Information (1984-1992), and Platano (1993-1997). Furthermore, the achievement of Jossie Esteban con la Patrulla 15 spawned a few spin-off organizations: the lady group Todas las Nenas de Ringo con Jossie (notably offering among its regular membership Olga Tañón ahead of her superstar single career) as well as the son music group Caña Brava. After almost 2 decades of achievement, however, the collaboration of Esteban and Martínez splintered in 1997, marking the finish of Jossie Esteban con la Patrulla 15. While Esteban embarked on the solo profession, Martínez continuing to function behind the moments like a pianist, arranger, and manufacturer for artists such as for example Advertisementán Cañuelas and Alex un Bizcochito. On the other hand, Martínez teamed up with previous Sabrosos del Merengue vocalist to create La Nueva Patrulla 15 (i.e., “nueva” such as “brand-new”) and discharge albums every once in awhile, including Ahora e’ Que, Que, Que, Eh (2002), Más Allá… (2004), and Cantando Arnaldo Vallellanes (2008).
