Personal Life of El Alfa
El Alfa was the possessor of a glorious and flamboyant career as a dembow artist. As an artist, it is inevitable for him and his family to be exposed to the media for more name and fame.
Despite his growing popularity, he prefers living a humble life with his wife Alba Rosa, who tied knots with him in December 2021 and bore him a daughter Fendi and a son, Emanuel.
Career of El Alfa
At the blooming age of 17, the young Emanuel left his home to become self-sufficient to become a rapper. Back in 2008, his dream of being a rapper was a pipe dream and led to not being supported by his family who preferred having him a stable job and avoiding unnecessary troubles.
With a dream in his mind and nothing in his pocket, he went on releasing two street-themed dembow songs “El Fogon ” and “Conmigo No” in 2008, together with Eddy Wilson. This didn’t work out for both of them but marked their career as an artist.
After the split with Wilson, he worked as a solo artist and put his efforts into “Coche Bomba”, his debut album a memorable one, and the album made ripples in the Dominican music community and made people dance to his tunes. He successfully established the image of a rising star in the dembow genre as El Alfa El Jefe.
Tarzan was his biggest hit track back in 2010 which made his name known to the younger Dominican generation and had the generation rocked to its music in every nook and cranny in the country.
The songs Coco Mordan, No Wiri Wiri, and Agarrate Que Te Solté garnered 3M streams on Spotify in the past decade, were the songs released in his early years which are later compiled together into Dembow Exitos on Spotify.
His songs were a fresh breeze in the community and songs like Cacao, Con To’ Lo’ Cascabeles, and Muevete Jevi made El Alfa a superstar.
The catchy and exotic songs with El Alfa’s high-pitched voice and hard-hitting notes made people go crazy. The Dembow music genre wasn’t as popular back in the early 2010s but the friendly rivalry between El Alfa and El Mayor Clasico kept the media on its toes and their diss track against each other was the buzz of the town.
El Alfa’s fame wasn’t limited to the Dominican Republic but his collaborations with Puerto Rico artists had played a significant role in the rise of his career, especially artists like Nicky Jam had won the hearts of millions in Puerto Rico.
No one in this world is spared from embroiling themselves in major setbacks at different phases of life, so El Alfa did face controversy for insulting the Founding Fathers of the Dominican Republic in a music video in the past and serving in community service for a few months.
