- The Dimensión Latina is one of the most famous and representative salsa music and Latin bands from Venezuela, and one of the notable names in the early history of salsa in the American continent. It was founded on March 15, 1972, in Caracas, Venezuela, by six young musicians: Jose "Joseíto" Rodríguez (musical director and timbales player), the pianist Enrique "Culebra" Iriarte, the trombonists César "Albóndiga" Monges and José Antonio "Rojitas" Rojas, the congas player Elio Pacheco and a vocalist that would soon become one of the most popular and influential singers and musicians in the history of Latin music in the American continent: the singer and bass player Oscar D'León. Two years after its foundation, singer Wladimir Lozano joined the group. Bearer of a singularly sweet voice, naturally talented for singing boleros, Wladimir formed with Oscar D'León one of the most memorable duets in Latin music, before Wladimir departed in 1978. The singers Argenis Carrullo, Rodrigo Mendoza and Andy Montañez were also notable members of Dimensión Latina. In its long musical career, Dimensión Latina has earned numerous awards and trophies. Its fame and influence, characterized by the innovation and high quality of their powerful and elaborate choruses and unique arrangements, quickly handed over the Venezuelan border, earning success in its debut in New York in the "Salsa International" Festival in the Madison Square Garden (1977), and becoming one of the most popular salsa bands in Central and South America, as well as in many cities in the United States and Europe. Among the national and international awards that Dimensión Latina has received are: in Venezuela: Six "Meridiano de Oro", two "Guaicaipuro de Oro", three "Musa de Oriente", three "Mara de Oro" and one "Mara de Platino". In Colombia: two "Congo de Oro". In Panamá: one "Buho de Oro". It is estimated that Dimensión Latina has sold about 30 million discs, and counts more than 3000 live presentations during its long and productive history. (en)

- La Dimensión Latina est un groupe vénézuélien de salsa formé en 1972 par Oscar D'Leon (chanteur et bassite), Enrique "Culebra" Iriarte (piano), Cesar "Albondiga" Monge (trombone), Jose Rojas ("Rojita") (trombone), Jose "Cheo" Rodriguez (percussions) et Elio Pacheco (percussions), dans le local "La Distincion" au Venezuela ; ils ont été rejoints par le chanteur Wladimir Lozano. Ils enregistrent des tubes dont le célébrissime "Lloraras." "La Dimension Latina" est devenue un des orchestres les plus reconnus et importants dans les Caraïbes, et a pénétré le marché Nord-américain. Oscar D'León transformait les concerts de la Dimension Latina en show, par son charisme, son talent de "sonero" et de danseur, capable de jouer en même temps de la basse, ce qui lui a valu d'être surnommé par le public El Bajo Danzante (le bassiste dansant). À la suite de tensions internes, Oscar D'León quitte La Dimension Latina : il sera remplacé par Andy Montañez, alors chanteur d'El Gran Combo de Puerto Rico. (fr)
