Felipe Rose (born January 12, 1954) is an original member of the disco group the Village People. In the group he performed as an "Indian" character - usually in a warbonnet and loincloth - from 1977 until 2017, when the name of the group was turned over to Victor Willis (the Original Lead Singer from 1977 to 1979). Rose launched a solo career and released a solo recording "Going Back to My Roots" in 2018.
Rose (birth name: Felipe Ortiz Rose ) was born in New York City to a Puerto Rican mother. He currently claims Lakota/Taino descent, but at other times has said he is Apache. He was raised in Brooklyn where he displayed an interest in the arts during his childhood. His mother was his main inspiration as she herself had been a dancer for the Copacabana during the 1940s and 1950s. In 1970, when Rose was 16 years old, he won a scholarship to study dance with the Ballet de Puerto Rico under the guidance of Pascual Guzman. He participated in a dance-drama recital of Julia De Burgos at the Lincoln Center for the Performing Arts with the Ballet Company. The New York Post called his performance "poignant and compelling."
