With an affinity with music that has always characterized him, in 1976 Héctor arma MIA, Musicos Independientes Asociados, together with his sister Liliana, Alberto Muñoz, Nono Belvis, Juan del Barrio, Daniel Curto among others, under the coordination of His parents.
This band, despite having stomped on and having received very good reviews, dissolved in 1982, when Vitale decided to debut as a soloist, a stage that continues to be linked to his other facets of theater, cinema, etc.
After various experiences, which would be precisely that they would give him, he put together the Lito Vitale Cuarteto, a group with which he managed to edit five albums. This group was made up of Marcelo Torres on bass, Manuel Miranda on winds and Christian Judurcha on drums, all of them debuted with “La senda infinita” in 1990.
“Viento sur”, his second work, arrived in 1991, is a symphonic poem, according to its definition, a joint work between Lito and María Elena Walsh. Followed by an album from ’92, called “Kuarahy”, a ballet that Julio Bocca danced at Luna Park, but in this same year he has started a daily space on Channel 13, where he recreates his own versions of popular, national and foreign themes, with prominent guests, with his band or simply with his keyboards.
When 1995 arrives, Lito Vitale presents “Pantallas”, his new album that contains a compilation of all the musical curtains composed for television, such as “Poliladron” and “Sheik”, for films such as “Patrón” and for the Pan American Games played in Mar del Plata.
In this long-remembered year, Vitale publishes “The memory of time”, a selection of fragments of classical music performed and arranged by himself. This new work has the incredible voices of Mercedes Sosa, Jairo, Sandra Mihanovich, Litto Nebbia, Juan Carlos Baglietto, among others.
Returning to its past format, the trio, Vitale decides to resume with Lucho González the path started 12 years earlier, but this time with Rubén Izaurralde replacing Baraj.
It is in the year 2003 that he presents the “Lito Vitale Quinteto”, together with the show “A single destination”, made up of instrumental themes and recreations of popular Argentine classics.
Two years later “Vivo en Argentina” comes out, edited in 2005 with a new quintet, and it does not include new songs, but it does include reversals of “El día que me quiero”, “Hombres de honor” and “Sin Código”.
