I am super proud to announce that I've received two Audio Verse Awards for Best Music, Self-Contained Dramatic Production ("Blood Heart" with Ernio Hernandez) and Best Audio Engineering, Self-Contained Comedic Production (Something Inside That Head of Yours). You can check out the links to them below. Congrats to everyone that won and were nominated. And thanks to the Audio Verse Awards for all the work they put into the awards.
BLOOD HEART
Cocotazo Music, Deivito, and Aquino - Puerto Rico del Alma - EP
Click here to purchase
A #GivingTuesday suprise! Here's a top secret project Cocotazo Music, Deivito, and I have been working on. It's an EP called Puerto Rico del Alma. Four remastered Aquino and Deivito songs about Puerto Rico - its history, its culture, and even some of its tasty foods (warning - don't listen while hungry). All proceeds from the sale of this album will go to ConPRmetidos, where 100% of donations will be used exclusively to provide long-term relief to the victims of Hurricane María in Puerto Rico.
If you have $4 and the ability to share this, please do. It would mean a lot to us, our families, friends, and our island.

Gracias. 🇵🇷 ❤ 🇵🇷

Artists United for Puerto Rico Benefit was a success!
Artists United for Puerto Rico Benefit hosted by Step1 Theatre Project was a success! It was a packed house and they raised much needed funds for Puerto Rico. All proceeds will go toward the purchase, transport, and distribution of goods on the ground in Puerto Rico. Miss Puerto Rico, Genesis Davila and nonprofit organization Regular Hero will be working on getting the money raised into Puerto Rico! Check out some photos below.
Artists United for Puerto Rico: A Hurricane Relief Benefit
Aquino will be participating in the Artists United for Puerto Rico: A Hurricane Relief Benefit on November 13. This will be a one-night only charity performance. All proceeds will benefit Hurricane Relief Efforts in Puerto Rico.

City Stars Review - [Q]Onstage
“Aquino reminds us of the beauty of acoustic sound and the value of reaching out to make beautiful music as part of shared experience. His voice is clear and this storyteller transports you to experiences in your past, shared past and other’s experiences to bring us all closer together.”
Check out the whole review from [Q]Onstage HERE. Thanks to Sherri and [Q]Onstage for their support of the arts!
