About Me

Alternatively named OBA Frank Lords or just Frank Lords.Vocalist, percussionist and producer. Cuban born, Obas background is rather extensive. Since the late 1970s and early 1980s, Oba has been professionally involved in music. Though from childhood, his spiritual background also had a major influence over Obas musical direction. Obas never ending love for Latin dance music took him through the disco era working for such legends as Henry Stone (TK Records), played for Celi Bee and recorded on the disco hit Miami Heatwave. Later on, Oba formed Secret Society in the 80s and went on to become Miamis leading dance group with 8 charted hits as "Why Did U Runaway", "Find Yourself"," To blind to see", " You say you love me" ,"touch me" , "Da boys with da nu look" , "69" ,But it was the ..1 hit "We Belong Together" He also collected hits from groups like Genuine Parts, Los Sucios, Merci-Mercy, Hush Hush and a slew of Miami groups called upon his helping hand from time to time. Oba in the 1990s continued to produce and remix records of his own as well as other acts with his own production company and recording studio. A more recent chart success was with Afro house group Dogma as their lead vocalist and lead percussionist on their two Billboard hits Mas Suave and Ritmo Cubano. Then after forming LatinXpress, Oba went on to score chart success with his first release Descarga on Billboards Dance chart. His hit Chango which is a collaboration with partner Albert Adam Camara and the vocals of legendary Afro singer Gina Martin has taken Oba and LatinXpress to a new level. Chango has swept the clubs of the U.S. and abroad charting ..1 and gaining the attention of renowned artists such as Ricky Martin to the point in which Oba and Alberts production team remixed and produced tracks for Ricky Martin and even his own producer Robi Draco Rosa for their own releases. In 2002 World famous Producers/DJ's MURK (Oscar G and Ralph Falcon) called on OBA to be the Singer/Artist behind what became the Club anthem of the year:Darkbeat/ "Addicted to drums", this track went on to win many awards including ..1 spots on billboard dance chart, nominations for dance star record of the year awards and WMC Record of the year award. Oba and his longtime partner Kino Moreno went on tour for Darkbeat and also performed two other hit singles under the name Darkbeat wich were "Allright" and a remake of Depeche Mode's "Personal Jesus". Oba feels that now the world will soon appreciate the sound and spirituality he adds so lovingly to his music and surely you will be hearing much more from LatinXpress and Darkbeat.
