The Lebrón Brothers are a musical family born in Puerto Rico and raised in Brooklyn, New York.
Members of the original band were Gabe Gil - alto sax, Tito Ocasio - timbales, Héctor Lebrón - congas, Eddie DeCupe - trumpet, Elliot Rivera - vocals, Félix Rivera - trumpet.
Their sister María sang on radio shows in Puerto Rico before the family relocated to the mainland United States.
Early in 1967, José called Cotique Records, spoke to George Goldner and asked for an audition.
George Goldner said he would return in one week and asked them to have some original songs ready that he could listen to.
[citation needed] In 1982, Pablo Lebrón suffered a stroke and required the use of a wheelchair.
They tour the world and in recent years have recorded number one songs such as “Si Me Permite”, “Culebra”, “No Me Celes”, and “Complicados”.
The Lebrón Brothers won the 2012 award for best International Salsa Band in Cali, Colombia.
