The duo started their career in the 1990s with the name "Los Bambinos", after singing with other reggaeton artists. Together, they released several albums and rose to fame in all Latin America.
In 2004, the duo announced they are going to disband. Since then, they have gone on with their solo careers. Their friendship remained tense for a time though now both have publicly reconciled. They are known singularly as Héctor el Father and Tito El Bambino, and would go on to be two of the most successful acts in Latin music history. Héctor el Father retired in 2008 to become an evangelical pastor in his homeland Puerto Rico, while Tito El Bambino remains active in the music industry.
