Enrique Santos, born in the colorful city of Havana, Cuba, carries the rhythm and passion of Cuban music in his blood. From a young age, his talent led him to the prestigious Teatro Gran Teatro in Havana, a venue reserved for only the most promising and talented artists. There, Enrique perfected his voice and stage skills, earning the respect and love of the audience.
However, life took him far from home, and the road to Lithuania was full of difficulties and trials. Enrique spent three years in the Pabrade refugee center, far from the stage and his beloved music. He was almost banned from singing this year, a period that tested his spirit but also strengthened his character. Instead of giving up, Enrique kept his inner flame alive, waiting for the moment when he could once again share his music with the world. Today, Enrique returns to what he loves most - music. His voice, enriched by life experience and persistent struggle, sounds powerful and sensitive. Every time he takes the stage, he gives himself wholeheartedly, sharing not only the notes but also the stories, emotions and energy that only someone who has experienced so much can convey. Having Enrique in our country is a real privilege. It's not just a concert - it's an opportunity to witness a story of perseverance and love for art. Every note, every song carries the reflection of a difficult and transforming path, and now we have the opportunity to experience it together with him.
