Locally voted Best Latin rock band in 1999, Dominican Mambé combines rock, reggae, ska, and Latin rhythms, such as merengue and bachata. Formed by brothers Vingy and Fidias Bello, sponsored and promoted by Danny Rivera, the seven-piece act released its self-titled debut album in 2001, making the band's first public appearance in the U.S. at the Billboard Latin Music Conference in Miami Beach. ~ Drago Bonacich, All Music Guide
