They have been playing for decades for international audiences, taking their tropical interpretations worldwide. For salseros everywhere such songs as "Las caleñas son como las flores", "Buscandote", "Dale al bombo", "Sobre las olas" and "Fuma el barco" are easily recognized and welcomed whenever they perform. "Las caleñas" has also been remixed into a more dancefloor friendly version and released on a whitelabel by Los Hermanos Latinos.
Several famous musicians have recorded for The Latin Brothers. One of them was the Cuban musician Alfredo de la Fe, nominated for two Grammys in 1980 and Violinist of the Year from 1977 to 1981 by the Latin New York Awards. You also have the vocalists Will Pertuz and Yorthley Rivas, who also recorded for Cariaco, and Joseito Martínez who had an international hit with The Latin Brothers called "Sobre las olas".
Today, with Julio Ernesto Estrada (Fruko) as musical director, they have directed their course toward the continuance of their unique salsa rhythm - realsing their 18th album featuring singer Joséito Martínez as lead vocal.

de noche miro las estrellas
contigo amor, contigo
contigo la vida es hermosa
todo lo veo color de rosa
contigo amor contigo
la vida es mas dura sin ti
que yo no lo puedo vivir
sin ti
la noche es oscura sin ti
y yo me me encuentro perdido
contigo la vida es mas bella
de noche miro las estrellas
contigo amor, contigo
contigo todo es mas bonito
en las campanas oigo pajaritos
contigo amor, contigo

The song "Contigo" by The Latin Brothers is a beautiful declaration of love and affection, expressed through the perception of the singer that life is more beautiful and colorful when he is with his beloved. The first stanza sets the tone, as the singer sings that life is more beautiful with his significant other, stating that they enjoy stargazing at night, and that everything is more beautiful when they are together. The chorus line, "contigo amor, contigo" emphasizes the importance of his partner's presence in his life, and how it makes everything worthwhile.
The second stanza echoes similar sentiments, stating that everything the singer sees is now in rose-colored hues, perhaps indicating that his perception of things has been elevated by his love. The lines "sin ti, la vida es mas dura sin ti, que yo no lo puedo vivir" convey a sense of longing and helplessness when his significant other is not around, suggesting how much he values their company. The bridge of the song talks about how everything is more lovely when the two are together, even the sound of birds in the morning.
Overall, "Contigo" is a beautiful love ballad that emphasizes the significance of love in one's life and how much an individual can be transformed by the presence of their partner.
