Born in the colourful city of Havana, Cuba, Enrique Santos carries the rhythm and passion of Cuban music in his blood. From an early age, his talent led him to Havana's prestigious Grand Theatre, a place reserved for only the most promising and talented artists. There, Enrique perfected his voice and his stage skills, earning the respect and love of the audience. 
However, life took him far from home, and the road to Lithuania was full of difficulties and trials. Enrique spent three years in the Pabradė refugee centre, far from the stage and the music he loved. This year he was almost banned from singing, a period that tested his spirit but also strengthened his character. Instead of giving up, Enrique has kept his inner flame burning, waiting for the moment when he can share his music with the world again. Today, Enrique is back to what he loves most - music. His voice, enriched by life experience and persistent struggle, sounds powerful and sensitive. Every time he takes the stage, he gives himself wholeheartedly, sharing not only the notes, but also the stories, the emotions and the energy that only a man who has been through so much can convey. To have Enrique in our country is a real privilege. It is not just a concert - it is an opportunity to witness a story of perseverance and love for art. Every note, every song is a reflection of a difficult and transformative journey, and now we have the opportunity to experience it with him.
