With his Venezuelan and Italian heritage, Franco De Vita mixes a potent stew of European pop craftsmanship and passionate Latin American rhythms. He emerged in the '80s with a string of singalongs swathed in soft, pillowy keyboards and chiming saxophone notes, then subsequently evolved in the '90s by folding hip-hop and house beats into his romantic style. In the new millennium, De Vita's momentum has hardly slowed, with a soulful arena ballad, "Si La Ves" with Sin Bandera; and the Latin Grammy® winning live album En Primera Fila among a career full of highlights.
