Waldo Mendoza (Havana, September 22, 1966) is a Cuban singer and composer. In these years he has become a popular artist in Cuba due to the special tone of his voice in the romantic song. From a very young age he became interested in singing and is part of the movement of amateur artists, participating in all grassroots, provincial and national festivals, always achieving one of the first three places awarded as a soloist or troubadour.
He is also a member of the Salsa Caracol orchestra performing at the Hotel Santiago and Santa Lucía. With this group he visited Jamaica in 1997. On his return to Havana, in the same year, he founded the group Tumbao Habana together with its director Pascual Cabreras, incorporating here several songs of his own within the repertoire of the orchestra. Rescuing musical genres such as ballads and boleros, he decides to form his group.
In July 2011 he began a tour that took him to several cities in the country, and in August of that same year he sang together with the young Patricio Amaro at the beginning of the Holguin Carnival in the Plaza de la Marqueta. In May 2012, Waldo Mendoza ―with the accompaniment of Yeni Valdés, Tania Pantoja, Vania Borges, Mario Rivera, David Álvarez, Robertón Hernández, Juan Kemell and the children's choir Niños de la Calle― presented his record production, From Havana.
