Biography
Ricky Laureano met Tito Auger in the late 80s. Together they formed another band called Farenheitt. The band recorded a single with the first writing collaborations of Auger and Laureano. Their first songs were titled "Maryann" and "I'd Been Looking".
In 1990, Laureano and Auger decide to seriously pursue a career in music and they moved to the United States, specifically in New Jersey. Three months later, Auger's father died and he returned to Puerto Rico. Laureano stayed there and started playing with a band called Pure Myth. Two years later, upon Auger's return they reunite again.
After returning to Puerto Rico, Laureano and Auger reunited with friends Jorge and Pedro Arraiza, with whom they had played before and formed Fiel a la Vega. The band quickly achieved great success in the island releasing several radio hits and winning several awards. As of 2007, the band has released four studio albums. In April 2008, the band played at the Movistar Music Fest 2008 in Panama, with Tego Calderón, Calle 13, and Zion. In early 2010, the band released the first single from their next album. The album, titled Equilibrio, was released on February 9, 2010. On December of that year, the band started a series of concerts on the cities of San Juan, Ponce, and Mayaguez.
