Band history
Mark Kilpatrick and Gustavo Laureano met in Orlando, Florida before moving to Miami Beach. They began rehearsing in a local warehouse along with drummer John Lengel and guitarist Carlos Figueroa . Producer Jorge Alvarez introduced them to Andrés Levin, and Secta Allstar signed a record deal with Fonovisa soon after. Their debut album, called Aniquila, was released in 1997. Bombón de Azúcar was released in 1999 and the title song, "Bombón de Azúcar" was interpreted by noted colombian singer Cabas and also by Ricky Martin. La Secta Allstar followed in 2001.The successful BORICUA! band owns a great amount of achievements and recognitions in their 15 years of trajectory. They reached the #1 position in Puerto Rico with their songs “Bombón de Azúcar”, “Dame lo que quieras”, “Hey Corazón”, “Pecar por Ti”, “Consejo” and “La Locura Automática”. Their last three albums AllStar, El Túnel and Consejo, debut in the #1 position in Puerto Rico in all categories.

Their album Consejo (2005), also debuted between the first 11 positions in the Latin charts of the United States.
