He joined the army at the age of 16. When he left the army, he met a young man named Abila, who was the only one throughout the region played the guitar. Abila taught Vargas to play the guitar that his mother had bought him.
Like many musicians in his area, Vargas played merengue, the calabash, drum and accordion. These are the instruments used in the bachata, but Vargas introduced other elements, like playing the bongo with chopsticks instead of hands, and playing merengue rhythms. Vargas started recording bachata in 1982, but was not successful until the end of the decade, when he introduced his new style "guitar merengue."
A year later he recorded his first single, a 45 RPM that was what was used at that time. He sold his singles himself, going from record store to store.
Luis Vargas consolidated his career as a professional artist in the world of bachata, having to his credit more than 20 productions with other labels and, in mid-2001, launched the album " In Person ", the first with his new record label.
Luis Vargas's close friend, Anthony Santos has been very helpful in his career. However, after Vargas's career developed, so did the rivalry between them, to the point that Vargas challenged Santos to a music duel.
Vargas has been characterized by a disorganized personal life: the father of 7 children with different women who came to know in one of his concerts and never seen again.
In 2009 he said he would leave the Dominican Republic with his family to live in Miami, due to the crime in the DR. He also declared his sympathy with the PRD.

amigo que pena tengo
nunca te havia visto haci
sufriendo por esa hembra

y no oyes lo que te digo
dime que lo que a pasado
sabes que yo soy tu primo

y que no te quede duda
fue que me hiso una traicion
que me llevo a la locura
bebere sin descansar
y no te metas conmigo
bebere asta morir

The lyrics to Luis Vargas’s song Dos Hombres Bebiendo (Two Men Drinking) tell the story of two men who are drinking together after one of them has been betrayed by a woman. The singer, who is the one who has been betrayed, is in a state of distress and has been drinking for three straight days. His friend, who is also his cousin, notices his pain and tries to console him. The singer, however, refuses any kind of advice or support, and instead demands more alcohol so that he can drink away his sorrows. The song ends with the two men continuing to drink together, hoping that the alcohol will make the pain and betrayal go away.
The song is full of emotion and paints a vivid picture of the pain of betrayal and the desire to escape it through drinking. The lyrics highlight the complexity of relationships and how easily we can be hurt by those we trust. The song also sheds light on the idea that alcohol can be used as self-medication and as a way to cope with emotional pain, even if it is not a healthy or sustainable solution.
