Rubén Domínguez was born on September 4, 1935 in Caracas, Venezuela. When Domínguez was pressured by a Venezuelan political party (AD) that he would never sing in Venezuela if he did not study with party protégé, Carmen Teresa Hurtado, he chose instead to move to Milan, Italy. Mr. Dominguez was married to Cuban American, Asunción M. Ferrer.
