Hector Rosado is an internationally acclaimed percussionist, bandleader, arranger, educator and recording artist. He has performed and toured with many notable performers in the world of Latin music, including his salsa band Hector Rosado y Orquestra Hache which he founded in 2011. Broadening his scope to the world of Latin Jazz, he created his Hector Rosado Latin Jazz Ensemble Siete group in 2008.
Starting his life in the Steel City, Hector is one of the five sons of Puerto Rican immigrants raised on the south side of Bethlehem. He was inspired by a neighborhood Motown Band when he first started playing congas. His mother encouraged him at age 10 by taking him by bus to purchase his first conga in the Bronx. By age 16, he sought his own apprenticeship in NYC seeking out the master Eddie Montalgo as his mentor. Soon after, Hector was opening-up shows for Ray Barretto, his hero. In total, Hector’s career spans nearly four decades.
