The group comprising a trio was prominent in the 1980s and early 1990s, particularly in New York City, Chicago, and Miami. Its members originally were Tony Ortiz, Louis "Kayel" Sharpe, and Ralph "Aby" Cruz—the original lead singer. Due to tension within the group between Kayel and Aby, the latter was later replaced by Angel "Love" Vasquez, which allowed Kayel to assume the lead vocals. The acronym TKA represents their collective initials. All of TKA's members are of Puerto Rican descent. Many Freestyle fans consider them the kings of that genre, although Kayel seemingly downplayed this label, having jokingly stated "There are no kings in freestyle. There is only one king in it—myself."

  • TKA foi um trio de freestyle/pop formado em 1984 e que foi destaque nos anos 1980 e início de 1990, principalmente na cidade de Nova York e Miami, na Flórida. Seus membros eram Tony Ortiz, Louis "Kayel" Sharpe, e Alejandro "Aby" Escoto, que mais tarde foi substituído por Angel "Love" Vasquez. A sigla TKA representa as iniciais dos nomes dos membros do trio. No início, os membros do grupo teriam afirmado em entrevistas que a sigla significava "Total Knowledge in Action" (Total Conhecimento em Ação). Todos os membros do TKA são de descendência porto riquenha. TKA é conhecido por seus hits, "One Way Love", "I Won't Give Up on You", "Louder Than Love" e "Maria", que chegaram na posição #75, #65, #62 e #44 na Billboard Hot 100. (pt)
