In 1967, at the age of twelve, De La Fé changed his musical direction from classical to salsa after discovering New York’s Latin Music scene where musicians were passionate about charanga and violinists were in great demand. In the same year, flautist José Fajardo hired him, and taught him the art of nightclub music. Alfredo lived in Colombia for 17 years.
From this time on, De La Fé performed only with salsa’s stars, including Celia Cruz, Cheo Feliciano, Hector Lavoe, the Fania All Stars, Ismael Miranda, and Charanga ’76. In 1972, at only eighteen years of age, De La Fé joined Eddie Palmieri’s band and became one of the first solo violinists in a salsa orchestra.
When he moved to San Francisco in 1976, De La Fé played with Santana for almost a year. Shortly afterward, he returned to New York City to play with Tipica ’73, one of Salsa’s most successful young orquestas of the seventies.
In 1979, De La Fé recorded his first album, Alfredo, for which he received three Grammy nominations. His second and third albums, Para Africa con Amor and Alfredo De La Fé and Charanga 1980, were released in 1980. The following year, De La Fé formed a group of his own and released Triunfo with them, which became a number two hit in Europe and in Latin American. Taking a break from the dance scene in 1981, De La Fé joined Tito Puente’s Latin Jazz Ensemble, a group that dedicated itself to improvisation, and enduring solos.
