Enrique “Quique” Domenech was born on June 6, 1974, in Puerto Rico. When the boy turned six years old, he learned how to play a musical instrument called cuatro, which is very popular in Latin America. In 1985, Quique was accepted into Puerto Rico Culture Institute, where he was studying music. After finishing his 5-year education program, Quique started playing in Cuatro Orchestra of Francisco López Cruz. In 1993, he participated in recording the soundtrack for the movie La Guagua Aerea about Puerto Ricans, who tried to find a better life in the USA.
In 1993, Domenech created a band called Renacer Campesino. His cuatro was joined by the bass guitar, Venezuelan cuatro, and Cuban tres. The band released three albums Sentimientos (1994), Cruzando Fronteras (1995), and Sueños, tierra y canción (1996).
In the mid-1990’s, a famous artist Chucho Avellanet invited Quique to record a Christmas album Let's not lose the essence. The LP was released by CDT records and became very popular in Puerto Rico.
In 1997, Domenech made his long-time dream come true and recorded his first instrumental cuatro album. The LP Refrescante was released by CDT Records. The album featured different songs by famous Puerto Rican composers, including Quique. A little later, Domenech released one more album Aquí me quedo. The LP was recorded with two bands, Haciendo Punto en Otro Son and Renacer Campesino.
