Bobby Valentin is a musician who truly came up through the ranks. Similar to other great salsa bandleaders, Bobby was born in Puerto Rico; on the ninth of June 1941. To this day, 81 years later, Bobby is still achieving goals. “El Rey Del Bajo” (The King of the Bass) has released over 35 albums in a career that saw him become a vital part of the world-renowned Fania All Stars orchestra as bassist and musical arranger and has appeared in concerts all over the world. He was born in the small town of Orocovis, Puerto Rico. His father, an accomplished guitarist, taught Bobby the ins and outs of the guitar as Bobby grew into the world of Latin music as an accomplished guitarist. Years later, while attending high school in Puerto Rico he took up the trumpet. In 1956, his family moved to New York where he continued his studies while attending George Washington High School. A couple years later he joined the Joe Quijano orchestra where he perfected his trade before being snatched up by Willie Rosario to play bass for his band. He stayed with Rosario’s orchestra while he searched for the right fit with a band as good as the ones, he became accustomed to. Along the way he had stints with the well-regarded bands of Charlie Palmieri and Ray Barretto. Eventually, he formed his own band and in 1967 recorded his first album Young Man With a Horn for Fania Records.
