Aldo Ranks

In 1998, Vargas began his career internationally, to be present in the recording and production of Cuentos de la Cripta. Songs from the album were occupying top positions in digital sales in Costa Rica, Nicaragua, El Salvador, Honduras, Guatemala, Colombia, Venezuela, Peru and Ecuador.

In 2000, Aldo Ranks started work on the production of Cuentos de la Cripta, an album produced by El Chombo, using songs such as "Orinoco Flow" as the basis of its music.

In 2002, he composed songs such as "Dance of the Fish", "Mueve Mami", and "Murder", taken from his album titled DJ Pablito presents Aldo Ranks.

Ranks achieved great success in 2003 and 2004 with "The Fire", a song that fuses Caribbean rhythms and cadence inviting the body to "move to the erotic rhythm notes & the rap and reggae rhythm". He then embarked on a tour of South America.{{cite web|url=http://www.eluniverso.com/2004/06/16/0001/259/B370BC70D0BE4C8696687379200E03A4.html|title=Ivy Queen, Aldo Ranks y La Factoría cantarán en el país|work=El Universio|publisher=Compañia Anónima El Universio|date=June 16, 2004|accessdate=February 10, 2013}} He then went on to produce songs such as "The Party", "Pa Rum to the World", "Carousing", and "I Cannot Forget You".

In 2006, he released his third album with the hits "The Undertakers", "The Street" and "The Helicopter". His fourth promotional single "The Nipper" became the official anthem of the Panamanian Carnival. A year later, Ranks performed the same feat once again, with production by DJ Greg on the song of that year's carnival.[http://www.lastfm.es/music/Aldo+Ranks Topics heard of Aldo Ranks]
