Abrazame," the first single from Rock en Espanol trio Camila, had already blazed a trail up Billboard's Latin charts before TODO CAMBIO, the band's full-length debut, was released. The album makes good on the single's promise of appealing, melodic pop-rock spiced with traditional Latin elements and a hefty dose of loverman swagger. Songs "Abrazame," "Me Basto," and "Coleccionista de Canciones," fall somewhere between power ballads and falsetto-sweetened love songs. Already popular in their native Mexico, Camila seem poised to conquer the Latin market in North America as well.

Camila: Pablo Hurtado (guitars, slide guitar, steel guitar); Mario Domm (piano, Fender Rhodes piano, Hammond b-3 organ); Freddy Canedo (electric bass); Edy Vega (drums).

Mexican trio Camila made a strong entrance onto the Spanish-speaking pop/rock scene in the summer of 2006. The group is comprised of the previously unknown Samo (voice), Pablo Hurtado (guitar), and industry mainstay Mario Domm (piano, voice, composer, and producer). Domm, having started his songwriting career nearly 15 years before, writing hits for such major-label successes as OV 7, the Sacados, X-Magneto, Giovanni, El Circulo, and Edel Juárez, is undoubtedly the bandmember with a master plan for success. Reyli Barba, Sin Bandera, and Kalimba all have Domm to thank for his hit songs and a winning producer's ear. Those songwriting and production skills, combined with the fresh artistic perspective of Samo and Hurtado, resulted in the release of their 2006 debut record, Todo Cambió. The hit single from that record, "Abrazame," has consistently made waves on Billboard's Latin charts. The group's takeoff was so rapid that the aforementioned single was radio-ready before the bandmembers had even selected a name for themselves. Settling on Camila -- meaning "close to God" -- seemed appropriate thanks to the granting of the group's collective dream. The record was subsequently nominated for Premio lo Nuestro's Revelation of the Year award. Camila have since toured exhaustively throughout Latin America and the States. ~Camila is a Mexican soft rock group which reached staggering success in their home country and all over Latin America upon the release of their debut album Todo Cambió.

The group includes Mario Domm, who produced major hits for Alejandra Guzmán, Reyli and Kalimba.
