Expedy Pou Aybar, professionally known as Expedy Pou, is a Dominican bolero and ballad singer born in Santiago de los Caballeros. Alongside his interpretation of romantic songs, he has worked as an agronomist, agricultural television producer and writer. His recordings include «Detalles», «Tú me entiendes», «Concierto de amor» and «Caminos cruzados».

Romantic song

In an interview with Máximo Jiménez for «El Caribe», reproduced by «Barriga Verde», he recalled that Víctor Víctor invited him to sing at an event in Higüey in 1973, shortly after he completed university. Pou described the 1970s and 1980s as his most active performing years and explained that much of his recorded repertoire appeared on 45-rpm singles.

His recording of «Detalles» placed sixth on the Santo Domingo chart published by «Record World» on March 31, 1973, using reports from HIJB. In January 1976, «Billboard» noted a new recording pairing «Tú me entiendes» with «Solo quiero decirte que te quiero». In the interview, he also recalled the LP «Cuando te dejé» and the later compact disc «Explota corazón».

Dominican repertoire and collaborations

He recorded the sarambo «Amor profundo» with José Lacay, adapting Juan Antonio Alix’s décima «Amor y geografía». His contributions to collective projects documenting Dominican song include «Llámame» and «El sonido de tu voz» on «Por Amor, 30 Aniversario: la música de Rafael Solano», a 1998 volume of «Canciones Dominicanas en Concierto».

He also participated in «Sígueme: en honor a la música de Manuel Troncoso», issued in the same collection in 2000. José del Castillo singled out his performance of «Aparición», written by Manuel Troncoso and arranged by Carlos Franzetti, within that production by Rafael Solano. Pou remained connected to other interpreters through informal musical gatherings devoted to bolero.

Agronomy, television and literature

His professional work outside music includes agronomy and production of the television programme «El Informativo Agropecuario». In June 2024 he presented «Manuelico: un campesino dominicano instruido» at the Biblioteca Nacional Pedro Henríquez Ureña. Through fiction, the book addresses farming, rural education and the preservation of natural resources.

Legacy

His recordings contribute to the memory of Dominican romantic song and to collective projects celebrating its composers. His musical career has developed alongside agricultural communication and writing about rural life.
