Meet the Dominican Artists Who Are Revolutionizing the Sounds of the Island

In pursuit of his solo career, Vicente García stepped down as frontman of the award-winning Dominican alternative rock band Calor Urbano. While we can only imagine how hard this decision was, it has ultimately led him down newfound paths of artistic direction. In 2017, he won not one, but three Latin Grammy awards in the categories of Best New Artist, Best Singer-Songwriter Album for "A La Mar," and Best Tropical Song for "Bachata en Kingston." When it comes to lifting moods, songs like "Carmes" and "Espuma y Arrecife" are sure to put anyone into a good groove.
