The early days:
Acoustic rock duo Domus met in the late 90’s, when Diego joined a band that Tomas was in, but later the various members of that band moved in different directions, with Tomas going to America, and Diego to Spain.
When they met up again on their return to Argentina, with fresh songs written and new maturity in their music, now showcasing Tomas’s intricate guitar work, and Diego’s passionate vocals, the duo “Domus” was born.
Song-writing:
With a seductive blend of Spanish and English vocals, using abstract and metaphorical lyrics, filled with continental passion and emotion, their original, refreshing, uplifting sound crosses all language barriers. One radio DJ describes them as “the Simon & Garfunkel of Argentina”.
Genre and Influences:
Probably best described as acoustic rock, their influences include David Bowie, The Beatles, Lou Reed, Bjork, Brazilian Girls, Radiohead, Thom Yorke, Red Hot Chili Peppers, U2, Michael Jackson, John Lennon.

Diego Meléndez Songwriter, Lead Vocals, Guitar

Media:
Their songs have been given airplay worldwide (including the Spanish lyric songs being played regularly on English speaking radio stations.
Their beautiful track “Teysela” was voted straight to the Number One slot on the Aiiradio chart (compiled based on listener email votes. That and the follow-up “The Bravest Girl On Earth” were both inducted into the Aiiradio Hall Of Fame, based on chart success, quite a feat for an unknown, unsigned band from Argentina!
They were also featured by Tom Robinson on BBC Introducing - again a great compliment as he chose one of their Spanish lyric songs !!

Quotes from Reviews:
Domus is the Argentinean meeting of Lou Reed and Simon and Garfunkel; having said that, Domus has a unique acoustic sound which makes use of both English and Spanish lyrics. You will either love it or dismiss it easily; I expect no fence sitting! If you like Domus’s music as I do, it will mesmerize you and draw you in.
(by Andrew Smith – New Music Reviews)
Alongside the vocals, and sometimes singing in Spanish, comes whispering harmonies to good effect. There seems to be a touch of The Velvet Underground and Crosby, Stills, Nash and Young about Domus, with occasional sounds of The Beach Boys thrown in for good measure (by Miss James Reviewer)
