His style of salsa isn't easily categorized, for he often changes approach from one album to the next. In 1986, Santa Rosa formed his own band and signed with Combo Records; a string of hits followed, such as: "Good Vibration", "De Amor y Salsa" "Punto de Vista" "Vivir Sin Ella" "Perspectiva" and the hits go on...1996 saw the release of Expresion, followed by Romantica in 2001 and Viceversa in 2002 which went on to become a hit in Latin communities from the US through all of Latin America "Autentico" in 2004 "Dos Soneros Y Una Historia" 2005 "Directo Al Corazon" 2006.
