Rosabel is an American house music duo consisting of DJ/producers Ralphi Rosario from Chicago, Illinois and Abel Aguilera from Miami, Florida.
Already successful club/dance artists individually, the duo has hit number one on the Hot Dance Music/Club Play chart five times. Their first single was "La Puta" in 1995 which was also remixed into a reggaeton mix on DJ Nelson & DJ Goldy's Xtassy Reggae, released on September 20, 2000. 2000's "Don't You Want My Love" featured vocalist Debbie Jacobs-Rock. In 2001, Rosabel scored two top 10 club hits with "The Power" featuring Jeanie Tracy which peaked at number one and a remix of Jennifer Holliday's "And I'm Telling You I'm Not Going" which peaked at number 6 on the Hot Dance Music/Club Play chart. In 2002, they spent a week at number one with "That Sound". Rosabel's third number one hit came in 2004, shortly after the release of the single "Cha Cha Heels" featuring Jeanie Tracy on lead vocals. Their fifth number one, "Rhythm Intoxication", came in 2006. "Cha Cha Heels" was later featured in the sixth season of So You Think You Can Dance in a cha-cha-cha choreograph by Jean-Marc Genereux, danced to by Jakob Karr and Ashleigh Di Lello. In September 2010, the duo released the single "C'Mon Get Funky" featuring Tamara Wallace, which peaked at number 2. They reteamed with Tamara in 2011 for "Let Me Be Myself" which peaked at number 7 in February 2012.
