El Prodigio

About El Prodigio

El Prodigio is the virtuoso who proved merengue típico could go anywhere. A child accordion prodigy from Jarabacoa, he inherited Tatico Henríquez's fire and pushed it into jazz, rock, and bachata territory without ever losing the Cibao pulse. Critics treat him as one of the finest accordionists alive, and he has kept a country genre commercially and creatively current for a young audience.
