Lucio Dominguez
Interprete de la Musica Cubana
I was born in Havana, Cuba. Since early childhood I feel the call of music, especially the Cuban music.
Back into the 70's I was already taking part in the street parties (called "DESCARGAS" in Cubans slang) organized on the neighbourhood I had the privilege to meet many of the artist which are part of the rich history of the Cuban music,as Barbarito Diez, Quino Morán, José Antonio Mendez, Plana,Felo (Hermetico) Bacallao, among others.
In 1981 I moved to Hungary to study, but since my arrival I was enrolled on musical projects, which granted me certain recongnition as a genuine representative of Cuban tradition and rhythms. Some of these bands are CARIBEAT (1996) Ricardo Salsa Club (2000) and CubaRitmo (2005) this last founded by me and Rita Barna, who I have been workingalong for 11 years. She has inspired me into the idea of creating this band and we share the direction and organization of the band.
Up to date, we have achieved some popularity among the Latin rhythms fans, and thanks to EMI RECORDS, we have recorded our first Album in 2008. On this record is possible to find several versions of classical hits and 3 own themes being "Mi Canción" my personal composition. The song "Todo Lo Que Puedo Dar" composed by Rita Barnagives also title to the album.
Nowadays I also sing as a solist and in diverse occasion I receive invitations from other bands and projects.
