Born in Havana, Cuba on 20th January 1971.
Since his early childhood he has been surrounded by music because most of his family are professional musicians. No one knows who was the first musician in the family. His paternal grandfather, Abelardo Alfonso Domech, played the tres (a Cuban folk string instrument), guitar, contrabass and percussion; he also sang. When he was a young man, he could play at a party on his own all night and his voice could be heard from far away.
