Emanuel Herrera Batista, known by his stage name El Alfa or El Alfa El Jefe, is a Dominican rapper known as the King of Dembow. Batista was born in Bajos de Haina, Santo Domingo. He is known for his initial afro hairstyle which led him to popularity in the early 2010s through songs like “Tarzan”, “Coche Bomba” and “Muevete Jevi”. He went on to form good relationships with many artists from Puerto Rico, such as Nicky Jam, Farruko, and Myke Towers amongst others. This resulted in one of the biggest collaborations in dembow history, led by El Alfa, when he released “Suave (Remix)” in December 2018 alongside Chencho Corleone, Bryant Myers, Miky Woodz, Jon Z and Noriel.
El Alfa’s reach continued to grow in the coming years, when he collaborated with international stars like Cardi B, J Balvin, Pitbull, Tyga, and Black Eyed Peas. “Singapur” surpassed the 200 million mark in February 2021.
With more than 21,000,000 monthly listeners to his music on Spotify and ranked #261 in the world, El Alfa is considered the leader of the Dominican dembow genre.
