Yoskar Sarante was born in Neyba, Dominican Republic in 1977. He wrote his first song, 'La Ciguapa,' at 17, and it became popular locally. His 2003 debut album included 'Perdoname,' which turned into a major hit and helped establish him in merengue music.
Other songs like 'Cuando Se Va Un Amor' and 'Guitarra' followed, and he released several albums through the 2000s and 2010s, including 'Mi Mayor Bendicion' in 2005 and 'El Capitan' in 2011. In 2006, he was injured in a car accident but returned to performing.
In 2014, Sarante faced sexual assault allegations that were later dismissed. He continued recording and touring afterward, with albums like 'El Rey de los Pueblos' appearing in 2016.
