Luis Antonio (Wiso) Cosme is a Puerto Rican actor, singer, musician, writer, producer, reporter and show host. Cosme began his career in entertainment during 1952, as a third guitarist and leading voice on a group named "Los Marqueses". He later joined the Universidad de Puerto Rico's choir and in 1959, he sang as a soloist at the Festival Casals, having met maestro Pablo Casals previously.
In 1972, Cosme, along with singers Tito Lara, Vilma Colon, Carmen Caldas, Floria Blanco, and Luis Beltran Rojas, formed a band named Allegro 72. In this musical group, the singers and musicians performed awesome B-boy funk breaks ... cover of Los Tios Queridos - "Si Me Ves Volar" (here titled Si Me Ven Volar) plus another funky uptempo breaks track titled "Gente". With this group, Cosme sang at New York's City Carnegie Hall.
Take a look at the photos of the LP for further information. This B-boy recording, the purest of Hip-hop dancing form, is factory sealed, never played. It doesn't get better than this.
Allegro 72, Mericana Records MYS-112, Stereo, released in 1973.
