Oscar de la Rosa
Oscar de la Rosa began his professional career in the early 80s in Houston, Texas. He is one of the original members of the world-renowned Latin musical group, La Mafia. Overtime, Oscar developed a unique vocal style. His now trademark textured voice has allowed him to release his passion for the Ballad. As a member of La Mafia, he has shared in receiving multiple award nominations including the Latin Grammys. The awards include winning the Grammy® Awards twice, 1 Latin Grammy, multiple Univisions Premio Lo Nuestro Awards, and many more. Oscars Grammys® are on display at the Hard Rock Café (Houston). As the lead vocalist of La Mafia, Oscar also received the Tejano Music Awards Male Vocalist and Entertainer of the Year in the 80s. His vocals and the awards have made Oscar de la Rosa a household name.
Today, Oscar is actively committed to his career and being a humanitarian. He is a supporter of the AIDS Foundation Houston, Spokesperson for the American Red Cross, and participates in many other charitable events. He has also established the Oscar de la Rosa Foundation to raise funds to assist these charitable organizations

Oscar, My deepest condolences to you and your sons on the passing of their mother. Words cannot express what you are going through my friend. But, my heart goes out to you and her family. God Bless You All!
Hey guys, Here is a link to a website I created for my mom. If you have kept up with my blogs, myspace, bulletins, then you are aware that my mother is extremely ill in the hospital. This site shows pictures of her as well as family members, and simply lets you know a little more about her life. Feel free to leave a comment as they are always welcome or even give a donation. With almost 3 weeks in the hospital, and medical bills piling up, a gift is very much appreciated.
Thank you, The Owens, Guebara, and Gonzales Families
