Eduardo Brito (January 22, 1906 – January 5, 1946) was a Dominican baritone singer. He was world-renowned for his voice and took to the stage in many countries performing operas and zarzuelas. The main hall of the Dominican National Theater is named after Brito.
Brito was born Eleuterio Brito in Puerto Plata, Dominican Republic.[1] He came from a poor family and during his childhood he worked as a shoe-shiner and a candyman.[1] As a young adult, his musical gifts became apparent and Brito in 1926 became acquainted with Julio Alberto Hernández, who helped mold Brito into the great baritone singer that he is remembered as.
