Rafael Alexis Quiles Hernández, known professionally as Álex Gárgolas, is a reggaeton producer best known for the Gárgolas series which has been five albums so far.[1]
His 2006 installation of the series managed to debut at number 181 on the Billboard 200, reaching number 6 on both the Latin Albums and Latin Rhythm Albums charts.
Musical career
In 1995, using his savings of $300, he produced music by a few fledgling artists, two who became the well-known, chart-topping reggaeton artists known as Wisin & Yandel.[2]
In 2019, Gárgolas produced "Mi Llamada" (remix), a collaboration with emerging artists from Argentina and Puerto Rico.[3]
In 2020, Gárgolas spearheaded the production of "Del Barrio a la Ciudad", a song that mixes traditional Mexican corridos with Farruko's urban sound.[4]
In 2022, Gárgolas visited Chile claiming to want to produce a Chilean reggaeton album, but instead offended the urban musical artists of Chile, and left the country without producing any,[5] telling them to "stay in your country".[6]
