Amilcar Boscan and Binomio de Oro de América

Binomio de Oro de America, formed by Israel Romero and Rafael Orozco in 1976, is a leading vallenato group known for its romantic songs and dynamic live performances. Touring Venezuela, the Caribbean, and Panama, they gained international fame, debuting at NYC's Madison Square Garden in 1981. Despite challenges, including Romero's cancer battle and Orozco's tragic death, the group thrived with replacements like Jean Carlos Centeno and Alejandro Palacio. Their album "Grafiti de Amor" earned a Latin Grammy nomination, solidifying their legacy.

Venezuelan singer-songwriter and lawyer Amílcar Boscán rose to fame as Guaco’s lead vocalist (1979–84), known for hits like "Un Cigarrito y un Café." As a salsa soloist, he’s famed for "Amor de Madrugada" and duets with Willie Colón, for whom he also wrote numerous songs.
