In 1929 Bienvenido Troncoso integrated in El Grupo
Dominicano, that in the city of New York recorded for the
RCA Victor. In most of the Troncoso subjects he did the
second voice to Eduardo Brito and he accompanied the
guitar to him. Mi llegada a Macorís, Ingrata, Yo no creí,
El triunfo, Tu desdén and other titles of the
responsibility of Bienvenido Troncoso appear in those
registries.
Throughout the years, his compositions have been listened
to in the most important voices of the country, among
them, those of Francis Santana and Licinio Valerio, the
Cuarteto Marcano, the Trio Añoranzas, the Dúo Capacetti-Torres
and the anthological duo of Victor Victor with Francis
Santana.
The excellent guitarist, composer and second voice, made
tours in the United States, Cuba and Puerto Rico and
bequeathed an extensive catalogue to us of representative
pieces of Caribbean music.
First of December of 1961 passed away in the city of
Santo Domingo the troubadour Bienvenido Troncoso.
