Ernesto Manuitt Hernández 

was born in Habana, Cuba, in 1969. 

As the son of a Cuban mother and Venezuelan father, 

he spent the first 7 years of his life in Cuba, 

and then moved to Venezuela with the family. 

Here he grew up with the Venezuelan folk music tradition, became a virtuoso on the Cuatro as well as picking up basically all of the countries popular folk songs, which made him 

a popular entertainer already as a teenager, where his exceptionally beautiful voice and enormous repertoire 

soon led to fame far beyond his village.

18 years old, he moved back to Cuba to begin medical school, and was very quickly sucked into the flourishing musical environment in Habana, and before long he was discovered 

by Mirtha Medina, one of Cubans most famous entertainers, who couldn't resist his charm and notorious stage personality.

He toured with her famous cabaret show for a couple of years, and when Mirtha Medina decided to move to the US, 

orchestra leader Giraldo Piloto didn't hesitate to contract Ernesto as founding member of his new orchestra KLIMAX, which within very short time became incredibly popular 

on a worldwide basis with its amazing stage show combined with great songs and musicians.

In 1999, he became the father of a little baby girl, Linda, 

in Berlin, Germany, and decided to give up the hectic life 

of touring and dedicate his time to his daughter. 

In 2002 he moved to Denmark, from where he has continued his professional career as lead-singer and special guest star 

in groups such as Grupo Danson (DK), Picason (Switzerland), Orquesta Gali (Switzerland), Alex Wilson project (UK), Sonido Tres (GER), Son Trombón (GER), Son Timba (GER), Calixto Oviedo y La Recompensa (SWE), CocoSon (DK), Ice Cream Vendors (DK), Salsa Na'Ma' (DK), Aché (DK), Cubop (DK), Candela (DK), Latin Monster (DK), Mambo Night Orchestra, Latinelectrónico (DK), Charanga Cubita (DK), Trío Domison (DK), Salsason (DK),
