Daniel Sentacruz Ensemble was an Italian pop group formed in 1974. Their first single "Soleado", a semi-instrumental track written by lead singer Ciro Dammicco and Dario Baldan Bembo, sold over five million copies in Europe, giving the band international popularity.[1][2] In 1976 and in 1978 Daniel Sentacruz Ensemble entered the Sanremo Music Festival with the songs "Linda Bella Linda" (peaking number three on the Italian chart)[1] and "1/2 notte".[2] Unable to replicate their initial success, the group eventually disbanded in 1980.[2]
