Would you like a Cruzmonty to go with that? Party-mix rhythms work old-fashioned horns at a brisk, skanking pace that will go perfectly with any samba-esque beat. From Santiago, Dominican Republic, Latin pop/rock singer-songwriter Pedro Cruz Montesino is ready to reveal his rock-guitar rumblings to a mass audience. Editor of "Download.com" Born Pedro Cruz in Santiago, Dominican Republic, Cruzmonty spent his teen years performing in three Dominican groups whose music ranged from pop to reggaeton. In 2005, he decided to record his first independent album with an acoustic pop sound, Yo Sabre Perder. Reflecting on a period of self-examination in his life, Cruzmonty described the songs as, "trying to cope and find the positive in the negative." Through his unique, sentimental, heart-felt songs, Cruzmonty's music has struck an emotional cord with its affecting melodies and sincere lyrics. From: Info at BMI.com
