Carlos Eduardo de Brito, known professionally as Eduardo Brito, was a distinguished Dominican baritone born as Eleuterio Aragonez on February 21, 1906, in Puerto Plata, Dominican Republic. Raised in a challenging environment by his single mother, Gloria Liboria Aragonez, Brito worked various jobs, including shoe-shining and boxing refereeing, to support his family. His exceptional vocal talent was discovered early on, leading him to pursue a career in music.

In 1926, Brito's life took a significant turn when he met Dominican composer Julio Alberto Hernández, who became instrumental in his artistic development. By 1927, Brito had begun to gain recognition, performing at a political banquet in Santo Domingo and impressing audiences with his instinctive and powerful voice. Despite lacking formal musical education, his performances were met with critical acclaim.

Brito married Rosa Elena Bobadilla in 1928, and together they formed the "Quisqueya Duet," later expanding to include Bobadilla's sister. The couple toured internationally, performing in places like Haiti and Puerto Rico, and eventually joined the Cuban company of Margot Rodriguez.

In 1929, Brito and the "Grupo Dominicano," which included his wife and other artists, traveled to New York City to record music with RCA Victor. This endeavor resulted in numerous successful recordings, cementing Brito's reputation as a prominent figure in the burgeoning Spanish-speaking musical scene in New York.

Brito's career continued to flourish in the early 1930s, particularly in Spain, where he received widespread acclaim for his performances, including the celebrated role in "La Virgen Morena." Despite familial obligations that limited his formal studies, Brito's natural talent and extensive vocal range allowed him to excel in both popular and operatic music.

Eduardo Brito passed away in 1946 in Santo Domingo, leaving behind a legacy that was later honored by renaming the National Theater of Santo Domingo after him in 2006. His contributions to music and his role in bridging Dominican and international music scenes remain influential to this day.
