Biography
Hailing from the sun-drenched island of Puerto Rico, Don Segundo has been cooking up the vintage sounds of Ska, Rocksteady and Reggae to music lovers since 2006. From its Caribbean standpoint, Don Segundo aims to create a musical bridge between Jamaica and the multi-cultural, cosmopolitan milieu of its native San Juan.

Don Segundo's first full-length album Censura features the band's careful blend of high-energy horn riffs with the jazzy stylings and soulful lyrics of sixties-era records. It includes some scorching, danceable instrumentals as well as modern musings on interpersonal relationships, consumerist culture, and the unexpected twists of everyday life; all from a female perspective.

Censura was released in North America through Jump Up Records on June 2008 and is currently available in Europe and in digital-download format through Megalith Records.
