Domingosiete was conceptualized as an outlet for some of the finest musicians in Los Angeles to explore and learn various Latin American roots music and compose original works. The Cuban Son of the oriente region/ Son Montuno, the Colombian Cumbia, Mexican Norteño and Bolero are the styles that planted the group musically. |
What eventually developed is what is now a characteristic Domingosiete sound: Classic and Modern aesthetics perfectly synthesized. Domingosiete has been acclaimed for its ability to transcend time, space, and culture and produce some of the most authentic music that hails from abroad and at home in Los Angeles. This ability is also apparent in their own compositions that are based deeply in tradition but tinged with a distinct urban, Los Angeles feel. |
Domingosiete released its second album, Quitate la Mascara, Basic Labs, in summer of 2005, while on tour in Germany, in less than two years, D7 has headlined five successful European tours. D7 is also gaining airplay all over Europe and California, from Russia to Connecticut, from the Swiss Alps to Palos Verdes. “Quitate La Mascara,” was released on Latin Garden II, Lola’s World Records, a two-disc sampler of cutting edge Latin Music around the world. KZSU called the new album--”This is some really good shit, straight up….if you like any Latin music just a little, you should give this a whirl.” D7 is scheduled to tour Europe in the summer months of 2007. After 8 years, two albums, several tours and a couple of soundtracks, Domingosiete is always busy. The Band is currently recording a new studio album and a live album recorded on their last European tour.
