Dario Benitez Releases Debut Album '1000 Millas'

Los Angeles, CA (Top40 Charts/ LMG) - The album, '1000 Millas', was recorded in Studio City, California, and its creation was supported by Toby Sandoval, the Latin Grammy Nominated producer who has worked as a musical director and/or producer with a diverse group of stars including pop darling, Paulina Rubio and Latin sweetheart, Pee-Wee.

'1000 Millas', consists of 9 original songs written by Dario Benitez and Toby Sandoval. It also includes 1 cover song from the well known artist Eros Ramazzotti . Each song provides a combination of eclectic mix of Latin/Rock/Pop and Funk, ladened with catchy hooks and melodies ready for airplay and audience sing-alongs. Dario doesn't hesitate to bare his soul in his intimate lyrics for 'Sin Ti,' a ballad written for his grandmother and you can't help but to move to the funky Miami club sounds of 'Pensando En Ti.' His versatility is further evident as his voice takes on a Jamaican rapping style in the reggae-tinged song, 'Nadie Mas.' Each and every one of his songs are very personal and come straight from the center of Dario's heart and world.

The theme of the album 'is a compilation of my love and dating experiences and the bitter-sweet relationships I had with both. I believe that music can penetrate a heart and that my personal experiences can be used in songs so others can interpret it and take from it what they need." ~Dario Benitez

"1000 Millas' reveals the stunning array of influences that have found their way into Dario's music. Dario's versatile vocal stylings made the decision an easy one for Toby to steer the album into the direction of classic legendary greats such as Marc Anthony and of pop stars Ricky Martin and Eros Ramazzotti. Dario and Toby agree that the overproduced songs of today lose so much in the figurative and literal translation of the unique and wonderful style of Latin music.

The album was released on April 2010, and fans are encouraged to visit www.dariobenitez.com, which provides everything you could want to know about this emerging Latin Artist.
