Domenic Marte
Main Event – Saturday – July 17, 2010
at the
Parc 55 Hotel

Domenic Marte is a stateside bachata singer, songwriter, and producer with a light pop touch who made his solo debut in 2004 on Sony Discos and who has a number of tropical airplay hits to his credit. Based in Massachusetts and of Dominican heritage, Marte released his full-length album debut, Intimamente, in 2004 under the abbreviated name Domenic M (he would use his full name thereafter). The album spawned a series of hits, beginning with "Ven Tu," a Top Ten hit on Billboard's Latin Tropical Airplay chart; follow-up singles "Ella Se Llevo Mi Vida" and "La Quiero" also registered on the tropical airplay chart, going Top 20 and Top 40, respectively. Around the same time, Marte was featured on a couple songs on fellow Massachusetts singer Bylli Crayone's 2005 self-titled album, most notably the song "Toyfriend." In 2007 Marte released his second album, Deseos de Amarte, which, similar to its predecessor, spawned a Top Ten tropical airplay hit in the title track and a modest follow-up hit, "Con los Ojos Cerrados.

Montuno Swing
Thursday Pre-Party
at the
Roccapulco

Montuno Swing is a salsa band that produces a big crisp sound. The band is a collection of outstanding Bay Area musicians with a laundry list of credentials to back them up. Christian Tumalan (band director & pianist), David Pinto (bass), Omar Ledezma Jr. (timbales & vocals), Oscar Soltero (bongo & vocals), Edgardo Cambon (congas & vocals), Adam Theis (trombone), and Luke Kirley (trombone) hail from different areas of Latin America and the USA resulting in a sound influenced by an eclectic mix of backgrounds. This is a collective of well-seasoned artists bringing together juicy trombone tunes, long-tickling piano solos, and clever percussion beats sending you spinning across the floor. Montuno Swing is not only a music lover's gem, but also a dancer's band. They give salseros lots to grab onto for movement, lots to groove to. So,shake off that attitude pilgrim, the holidays are just getting started. Go dancing!
