Bio

Formed in 2003, Grupo Miguelito bridge the gap between the bolero/flamenco styling of mid 70's era Jose Feliciano and the modern energy of artists like Manu Chau. Under the musical direction of Brazilian composer/arranger Ze’ Luis (Caetano Veloso, Bebel Gilberto) Grupo Miguelito is a global mix of talent and personality. Guitarist Ricardo Padron hails from Havana, Cuba; Drummer/DJ Mike Williams (Nancy Boy, Realto)is from Liverpool, England; and Italian/American vocalist Miguelito LaMorte (Mini-King, Fictura)comes from the far northeast of Nevada (actually...The Owyhee Indian Reservation, via Elko, Nevada).

Live, Grupo Miguelito always delivers dynamic, powerful performances (think U2 meets Marc Anthony) involving the audience to the point of elevation, from subtle statements...to strong surprises like a ‘Latin jazz combo gone mad’, while on record the songs dictate the drama.

The Grupo Miguelito EP (available at all online retailers) involves the bands most talented friends. Guest’s include bassist Leo Brooks (Lauren Hill), drummer Jonny Cragg (Spacehog, The Twenty Two’s), Percussionist Mauro Refosco (David Byrne, Forro In The Dark), Vocalist Michelle Manzo and string and brass players from The New York Philharmonic as well as New York’s infamous “Salsa” scene.
Mixed by veteran producer Brad Leigh (Tracy Chapman, Billy Joel, Julian Lennon), the EP is journey from ‘heartbreak to heartbeat’ with songs in Spanish and English while keeping a focus that’s ‘en clave’.

Best friends are hard to find...for all four members of Grupo Miguelito, making music together just a bonus.
