A report by Shirley Gomes for Latin Times.
Vicente Luis García Guillén, better known as Vicente García, can be considered the king of the fusions. His music revolves around musical currents such as Blues, Jazz, Folk, Bachata, Salsa and Merengue, achieving incredible melodies that are complemented by lyrics based on such real personal experiences, that it is inevitable not to add the song to the soundtrack of your life.
With his light brown hair in a Rastafarian style, Vicente is a worthy representation of the Caribbean. A natural and innovative young man who has earned, with much effort, to be part of our playlists, and was just awarded with Latin Grammys Best New Artist, as well as Best Tropical Song for "Bachata en Kingston," and Best Singer-Songwriter Album for "A La Mar."
In addition to the happiness of his recent triumph, the young Dominican living in Colombia, has just released the music video for his song "Bachata en Kingston." In this song, García shows a glimpse of life for Caribbean people who live in an urban metropolis like Bogotá - as is his personal experience - very different from the beach lifestyle.
"The idea was to make the characters interact in environments different than the beach or any other tropical setting," said the singer. "This is very similar to my personal experience, I am a Dominican with a day by day life in the city of Bogotá... so we wanted to show that from another point of view
