DAMIRÓN

+++

Frank Damirón (born Francisco Alberto Simó Damirón,1908 -1992) was a Dominican pianist, composer, and arranger who shined as a virtuoso through his playing style that fused merengue with other elements of Latin popular music and left his mark as the best performer of piano-merengues. He is widely known for forming one half of the legendary merengue duo, Damirón y Chapuseaux who helped to internationalize Dominican merengue in different parts of Latin America and the Caribbean.
