"A contribution to Latin music."

“There is no doubt of the tremendous talent Geordano has and the songs he composes are definitely a contribution to Latin music.” (Translated from Spanish) - Santiago Matias, President of Latino News, Latin Pride Magazine.


"Review-A promising latin artist"

Having mixed and mastered several latin artists, Geordano Henriquez has
really caught my attention with his compositions. He is an astounding
music artist with a natural talent in writing great memorable songs with
hit characteristics. In addition to his songwriting, his amazing
ability to deliver great dynamic vocals makes him a promising latin
artist/vocalist to look out for today and the coming years.

"The Present of Latin Rock in MA"

"Rock en español in Massachusetts is growing and every day more
youths join this movement. One of these is Geordano Henriquez,
a young man that carries the music in his blood. In the past months
Geordano has been working on his first album not only in the
production of the songs, but also with his live performances in
different spots around the country that have made him more popular.


Geordano is a singer-songwriter that gives shape on paper to his daily
experiences, his lyrics are the view of a young musician, with the
deep desire to succeed. I am certain that his work will be a success,
not only backed by lovers of this musical genre, but his lyrics will also
be admired by those who like good music.

Geordano Henriquez is the present of rock en español in Massachusetts,
but with a potential future of international projection.”-Tano Tozzi, Programmer of Bravamix.com

"One of the jewels of the emerging scene."

"Contagious and refreshing, Geordano's music requires you to move your body. Don't be surprised if you find yourself dancing with the person next to you or jumping and singing along with the melodies of this Dominican singer/songwriter, one of the musical jewels of alternative music and the emerging Rock en Espanol scene here in Boston.

Geordano has brought his music to various parts of th US, more recently to Chicago, NJ and the big Apple, performing in different venues receiving great acceptance in New York. No doubt a pioneer of the scene and a pilar for his great personality which distinguishes him and has won him the respect of his musical colleagues everywhere he goes to share his music." Pedro Morales, Director of Zubterraneo

"Admired by those who love good music"

"Once more, singer/songwriter, Geordano will delight us with the songs that have no age to be enjoyed since the lyrics of this promising artist of ours is "admired by those people that love good music".

The energy and enthusiasm for 'rock & roll' is felt with the expression and feeling of Geordano on stage. It is motivating and refreshing to see and enjoy a song from one the the best local exponents of this genre in actuality.

Geordano is a musical experience with fresh sounds and melodies that provoke a harmonious explosion in his spectators for the contagious rhythm of his songs and his musical arrangments."-Siglo 21 Newspaper - Siglo 21 Newspaper


"Live Review: Geordano Henriquez"

"Probably the longest running Latin Rock act in Boston, he really stepped up his live show this past Thursday at Don Pedro's in Lawrence. Geordano continues to demonstrate his staying power and versatility and will remain at the forefront of the scene for years to come.

The location in Lawrence was somewhat hidden, and the layout is less than ideal for a rock show. It seems that Don Pedro's does not frequently book rock shows, and the sound guy made it apparent. The great atmosphere and wonderful staff more than makes up for the drawbacks and over all, this was a great place for Geordano to shine.

With a totally new lineup, the backing band “Los Malos” gave Geordano’s music the backbone it deserves. Shawn Dieppa-Freites laid down a serious groove on the drums and provided the anchor for Geordano’s bass playing. He kept a tight pulse and showed off his chops with a slew of impressive fills while keeping the songform clear and defined.

Mario Estrada nicely rounded out the sound an added flavor to the musical backdrop. The lead guitarist Rico Rael was one with his instrument as intense licks and scorching guitar solos flowed freely from his fingers all night.

This great backing band allowed Geordano to showcase his talents as a songwriter, bass player, and most of all performer. As soon as he stepped on stage he took control of the room, dictating the pace and energy for the night. He made the crowd jump during his energetic favorite “Besos”, and when he pulled out a heartfelt ballad, the swaying lighters came out!

With this new band his signature star is able to shine brighter than ever. His constant improvement and continual evolution will no doubt make Geordano a household name." Teo Quirino-Artist Manager/Drummer

Bio

For Geordano Henriquez, music has always been about having something to say, in addition to something to play. Henriquez’s original, melodic ‘rock en Espanol’ has a musical quality enriched by the depth of his moving lyrics. As a result, this Boston-based singer-songwriter is one of the freshest sounds on the market today.

As a kid growing up in the Dominican Republic, Geordano was drawn to both the music – and the message – in the old LPs of romantic classics from his mother’s record collection. Later, as a teen growing up in Massachusetts, Geordano played bass with a church group and had the opportunity to travel to Mexico. One of the many people he met was a guy about his age who wanted to play music badly - but was unable to afford a bass (Geordano later gave him his). This meeting confirmed something Geordano had been feeling inside for some time: music is a powerful force, often even stronger than whatever circumstances we are dealt in life.

The trip to Mexico had a lasting impact on Geordano. When he returned to the states, he began writing constantly. These thoughts – about love, hope, broken dreams and social issues – were cathartic. Geordano began pouring his ideas into notebooks; eventually, they became song lyrics. As his passion for rock grew stronger; he and some friends formed the band Dedos. They quickly achieved a cult following, received considerable airplay and the song “Besos” – with music and lyrics by Geordano - was a regional hit.

The awesome reception that his project received and the happiness that Geordano found from interacting with crowds prompted him to embark on a solo career. By this time, Geordano had truly forged his own sound. His songs are both rhythmic and fiery – he is Latino, of course – but are also introspective and soulful: imagine Mana with an edge, or the best American rock with some Latin roots.

The response to Geordano’s music has been tremendous. He has performed in prestigious events including the Latin Pride National Awards (alongside international recording artists Domenic Marte, Negros and Anais) and gigged in NYC, Chicago and Connecticut. In Lowell, MA, Geordano was invited to perform for 4,000+ attendees at radio station “Power 800’s” annual concert. Santiago Matias, President of Latino News Latin Pride Magazine says, “There is no doubt of the tremendous talent Geordano has; the songs he composes are definitely a contribution to Latin music.”

Most recently, Geordano has been finishing his first solo CD, Todo Cambio, to be released in early 2007, which he co-produced with Bruce Andrews (Grateful Dead, Queensryche.) Featured on the CD is well-known Dominican guitarist Joel Solano; Geordano is backed in his live band by the equally gifted Guillermo Ortiz (guitarist for Mexican star Julieta Venegas). Todo Cambio is being mixed and mastered by Eu Jin Chan (Earth, Wind & Fire, Brian McKnight and Scott Storch), who says of Geordano, “He is an astounding artist with a natural talent in writing great memorable songs … with an amazing ability to deliver great dynamic vocals.” With upcoming national shows, steady radio airplay and interview requests from throughout the US and Latin America, not only does Geordano have something to say – a growing number of people are interested in hearing exactly what he will say next.
