AstroCaribe is the project of Venezuelan musician and composer David Domínguez, a creative endeavor that blends Venezuelan folk traditions, singer-songwriter music, and electronic elements into a distinctive sonic language. His compositions explore the physical and emotional landscapes of the Caribbean, addressing themes such as migration, identity, memory, and humanity’s relationship with the natural world.

More than a musical project, AstroCaribe is a space for artistic creation and research that seeks to reinterpret cultural traditions and bring them to new audiences. Through a poetic and contemporary artistic vision, David builds bridges between the traditions of the Venezuelan Caribbean and global audiences and soundscapes.

Paisajes Mínimos: Dialogues on Migration and Sonic Memory is an album about migration, memory, and transformation. Its compositions portray small emotional geographies shaped by the experiences of those who live between different places, languages, and cultures. Through personal stories and soundscapes that combine folklore, poetry, and musical exploration, the album reflects on belonging, nostalgia, friendship, and the human capacity to create new homes through meaningful encounters.

With Paisajes Mínimos, David embarks on a new artistic journey that brings him back to Europe to reconnect with friends, collaborators, and stages that marked an important chapter in his career.

The project’s main focus is the presentation of the Paisajes Mínimos repertoire in a duo format alongside Spanish violinist, singer, and traditional musician Graciela Zaera Moraña, with whom he previously shared the project Napami during his years in Belgium. Napami emerged from the encounter of two migrants and their musical dialogue between Latin America and Europe.

On stage, David and Graciela weave a unique musical language through the combination of guitar, Venezuelan cuatro, voices, violin, and traditional hand percussion instruments from Castile (Spain), creating an intimate sonic landscape where singer-songwriter traditions, Ibero-American roots music, improvisation, and contemporary sounds coexist.

The project also includes collaborations with artists and ensembles connected to David’s migratory journey, including The Boat Band, with whom he has collaborated in previous artistic exchanges.

Beyond the concerts themselves, the project aims to create spaces for intercultural dialogue between communities in Europe and Latin America, using music as a tool to connect diverse experiences and highlight the stories that link migrant communities across both continents.
