He was signed by the leading manufacturer of percussion instruments “Latin percussion.” His single, “El Swing of New York” was #1 for “Salsa Magazine” playlist for 4 weeks. His single, “Yo Estoy Desengañado” (Salsa Version), was originally recorded as a ballad by the Cuban singer Orlando Contreras. Afterwards, the track launched as one of the songs on his upcoming CD release “Mis Recuerdos.” Recently, Fajardo released another single “No Tiene Rival” that has been a dancers delight.
