Sergio Vargas was a very popular merengue singer in the 90s. The 1992 single La Ventanita was his first big hit. He was born Mar. 15, 1960 in Villa Altagracia, Dominican Republic. He started out singing with the local group La Banda Brava and then the popular merengue artist Dionis Fernandez. Vargas started his own band in 1986 and recorded three albums for the local label Karen Records. He signed with Sony Latin in 1988 and recorded for them his whole career. La Ventanita is from the 1992 album Sergio Vargas. It reached #13 on Billboard's Hot Latin Songs chart. Vargas was very successful in the 90s. His 1998 single Corazon Encadenado reached #4 on the Hot Latin Songs chart. He had several chart singles. Vargas continued to have success until he was elected to congress in 2006. Apparently he has always been interested in local politics. This budget comp is a good intro to his music. Vargas last recorded in 2011. His website is closed so I think he retired. Latin music fans will enjoy his music. Here's the video for La Ventanita by Sergio Vargas.
