JUAN LUIS GUERRA

December 30, 2015 

CONCERT JUAN LUIS GUERRA 

30 of his best pieces

He is undoubtedly the best Latin artist!

Born in Santo Domingo June 7, 1957, musician, composer, songwriter and producer.
His musical style is unique in that it is able to customize the Merengue or Bachata with melodic touch of Bolero, also using salsa, rock and roll and gospel.
His lyrics are simple and metaphorical, sometimes erotic, as in "Burbujas de amor".

But in some pieces, he questions the political system and social injustices, typical of Latin America, such as "Vida para un sueño", the hope of the American dream, or "Niagara en bicicleta", referring to the lack of services for public health, "El costo della vida", the effects of capitalism and even "Acompañeme civil", which deals with political corruption.

The concert will be held on December 30, 8:00 pm at Altos de Chavón-Casa di Campo, La Romana

Before the arrival of Columbus, the island of Hispaniola was inhabited by Taino Indians, a peaceful population.
The Spanish colonization began in 1493, with the arrival of 1,300 men from Spain.
The harsh treatment of the natives, together with diseases exported from Europe, the native population was reduced to about one-twentieth of its total.

For this reason, the Spanish began importing African slaves to the island.
E 'for this reason that most of the people of Haiti and the Dominican Republic have a little' in the heart of Africa.

In Las Galeras and throughout the peninsula of Samana prevalent ethnic group rather dark skinned, in all shades of mulatto and mestizo.

Fields of sugar cane grow mainly inland.
As one of the crops most widely practiced in the Dominican Republic, its processing requires the contribution of all the family and everyone is assigned a role in the process, depending on their abilities.
It 'a perennial tropical plant that needs a hot humid climate.
The sugar is obtained from a syrupy fluid present within the shaft.
It must not be torn, but cut down, leaving the root, so that it can grow back the following year.
After being cut, the cane is cleaned and pressed.
  From the pressing is obtained a liquid that is boiled and that, as soon as it becomes more dense, is poured into a large vessel where it cools.
The next step is refining.
