  PUERTO RICO HERALD: The Many Voices Of Robi Rosa… Moving In On Ricky Martin’s Turf
Robi Rosa was watching three versions of himself sing and pose on a plasma screen television in his recording studio here.
Rosa's return to his own solo career with "Mad Love" (Sony/Columbia) — on which his Draco angst is greatly tempered by his knack for lush pop-rock romance — secures his place as Latin music's most successful anomaly.
Rosa quit Menudo at the height of its success and recorded two solo Portuguese-language albums in Brazil by the time he was 17, and then years later quit the New York City funk-rock band Maggie's Dream on the brink of its second album.

 Robi "Draco" Rosa Man of Many Talents: BMI MusicWorld® Feature Story   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-22)
Rosa has been nominated for three Grammy Awards for his co-writing/production work with his old Menudo chum, Ricky Martin.
Rosa's own efforts (the Spain-tracked Frio and Vagabundo, recorded in England with Roxy Music guitarist Phil Manzanera at the controls) were dark, moody affairs, sung in Spanish, as busy as his paintings, and swimming in gorgeously Gothic keyboard/guitar tones.
Future Rosa plans include: More painting; a one-off club combo dubbed Gringo Star; collaborating with Martin on his sixth release; an all-instrumental version of the spectral Vagabundo; possibly some dabbling in film soundtracks.

 Robi Draco Rosa tries out his multiple personas
You never know which incarnation will materialize at a Robi Draco Rosa concert: his thrash-punk rock persona, the "Livin' La Vida Loca" hitmaker, Latin pop crooner or fusion master in the mode of Miles Davis, one of his many idols.
Then again, Rosa once announced that "Julio Iglesias and Sid Vicious both played a really important part in my life." And that comment goes a long way in explaining his eclectic sensibility.
But the crowd seemed restless for Rosa's harder-edged rock, and so when he broke into the head-banging "Llanto Subterraneo" from his metal days and followed it with the Hendrix-like "Heaven Can Wait," the momentum picked up appreciably.

 Rolling Stone : Robi Rosa Steps Out on "Love": Robi Draco Rosa
While Rosa was regularly engrossed in his own projects, his behind-the-curtain work with a former Menudo mate allowed him the opportunity to create starmaking thunder for Martin's lightning.
Rosa wrote or co-wrote nearly all of Martin's 1998 album Vuelve, including the international smash (and Grammy show-stopper) "La Copa de la Vida." Rosa's name was also all over the songwriting credits for Martin's self-titled 1999 English-language recording, including the hit "Livin' la Vida Loca" and the follow-up Sound Loaded.
Writing hits was mostly a way for Rosa to get a foothold to pursue his own sound.

The short but effective seven-song set served as a teasing preview of what to expect when the album is issued and Rosa mounts a full-scale tour.
Rosa is definitely diverse and ambitiously wants to merge many kinds of music.
