After Menudo, Rosa went on to star in a minor Hollywood hit, the 1988 movie Salsa. On the set, Rosa fell in love with his co-star Angela Alvarado. They wed a few months after the movie's release, started raising a family and have also been working as partners in Rosa's different projects ever since.
In 1990 Rosa moved to Los Angeles and formed a rock band called "Maggie's Dream" which released an album under Capitol Records. In the early 1990's Rosa legally changed his name to "Draco Cornelius Rosa" (draco means "dragon" in Latin) saying he wanted to leave his old image and lifestyle behind. During this time, he released two albums which differ greatly from each other. The first one, Frío was released in 1994 and featured a pop sound along with soft rock influences. His second major work, Vagabundo, was released in 1996 and marked a drastic change from the previous album and image. Under the name Draco, Rosa created a heavy and dark album that carried elements of goth, psychedelia, and heavy metal. Vagabundo is considered one of the greatest Rock en Español albums of all time.
During this time Rosa began collaborating with former Menudo colleague Ricky Martin, co-writing many of Martin's biggest hits, among them "Livin' La Vida Loca", "She Bangs", "Maria" and "The Cup of Life". He and co-writer Desmond Child earned Grammy nominatios for their work with Martin.
In 1998 he released his first english-language album, titled Songbirds and Roosters. It featured the english versions of the tracks from his debut album Frío. In 2001 Rosa released a Greatest Hits album called Libertad del Alma which featured songs from an upcoming album in which he had been working for more than three years.
In 2003, Draco again re-invented himself yet again, in preparation for the release of his most ambitious project yet, an album titled Mad Love Released in March 2004, the album contained tragic love themes in different musical genres ranging from hard rock to flamenco ballads. The album was comprised of 15 songs, 3 of which are sung in Spanish. The album was the first to earn Rosa international recognition beyond Latin America, becoming widely popular in Europe. Rosa toured the continent with Lenny Kravitz in the summer of 2004.
Rosa received a Latin Grammy Award in 2004 for the video clip of the song "Más y Más". In September 2004, Draco took his show to Puerto Rico's new 18,000-capacity Coliseo de Puerto Rico, selling out the venue. A CD/DVD of the event was released on December 6, 2005, titled DRACO Al Natural. He capped 2005 with 7 sold out concerts at Puerto Rico's "Bellas Artes" theatre in the month of September and proceeded to focus on a new spanish-language album for 2007.
Rosa currently lives in Los Angeles with his wife Angela and two sons, Revel and Redamo, although he also has a residence in Puerto Rico. Rosa has been known for using many different pseudonyms when writing songs for other artists. Among them are "Dolores del Infante", "Ian Blake" and "Phantom Vox". On December 19, 2005 multi-artist Celso Gonzalez introduced an instalation called "El Ultimo Viaje: El Entierro de Robi Rosa" ("The Final Voyage: The Burial of Robi Rosa") at Puerto Rico's Museo de Arte Contemporaneo.

Robi Draco Rosa Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Me dueles tanto, tanto que sólo soy viento
Viento llegó, viento pasó, y como me acuerdo
Sólo por ti viví, gracias a ti
Yo seguiré, viento llegó
Viento se fue y como me acuerdo
Ay, yo te llamo, yo que te llamo
Dónde andarás
Dónde andarás, lejos de mí
Quién te dará lo que te di
Quién dormirá abrazado a ti, como yo
Como me acuerdo, amor, como si fuera ayer
Viento llegó, viento pasó, y tú no estás aquí
Ay, viento pasó, y yo, como me acuerdo, amor
Ay, yo te llamo, yo que te llamo
Donde estés, ven volando a mi lado, hey
Voy a buscarte por donde estés pa que, pa
Que vuelvas a mí, así nos volvamos a enamorar
Ay, yo te llamo, yo que te llamo
Donde estés, ven volando a mi lado
Hey, voy a buscarte por donde estés pa que
Pa que vuelvas a mí, y así nos volvamos a enamorar

Un artista que no le importó la fama ni el marketing, solo se preocupaba por la música bien hecha, todo un "Artista" grande Roby.
Edinalva Viana
Ele se interessa por se expressar como verdadeiramente está, por se liberar. Sem isso não há salvação. É sempre sobre nós mesmos, pq o mundo é o nosso olhar. Os artistas que se prendem em formatos e nas expectativas do mundo e do mercado se reprimem, se aprisionam, se abandonam. Estão mortos e no inferno.

Sinceramente he escuchado esta canción desde anoche una y otra vez, perdidamente enamorada obsesionada de unos sonidos de fondos que se perciben muy bien con audifonos, es una combinacion entre el bajo y un sintetizador, estoy maravillada, y ahora que la escucho turra, me encanta más♡°♡
