Domingo "Tatico" García Henríquez (July 30, 1943 – May 23, 1976), considered one of the best accordionists of merengue tipico, was born in Nagua, Dominican Republic.

Tatico died in a car accident in Santiago, Dominican Republic, in the well-known barrio of Los Ciruelitos on May 23, 1976.

At the time, Mr. Cardenas hosted a show called Musica Tipica Dominicana, which ran Monday to Friday from 5:00pm to 6:00pm.

Mr. Cardenas provided Henriquez with his first opportunity in the music industry and further assisted him in his career by accompanying him and hosting various of his concerts prior to his untimely death.

In the past, the lineup was a two-row diatonic accordion, güira, tambora, Marimbula (a bass-like instrument), and occasionally, saxophone.
