not sure exactly where he is playing...but i saw a ton of posters around Boca Chica last week saying he would be playing on the 25th.

Gotta feeling that this will be around BC somewhere as i didnt see ad's in the capital or in juan dolio.

Just thought i would give a heads up in case anyone on the south coast would like to see him.

Frank Reyes is playing at Jumbo Super Fria on March 24 (next Saturday) which is in Boca Chica. Jumbo Super Fria is a huge new colmado right across La Bomba on the autopista. They do not know if they will be charging or not for the event!

thats awesome. 2 weeks ago there was a great block party on saturday night. Many bachateros and some good dance music. Nobody famous...but a really fun time. I was thinking...that damn...they should do something like that every week! They really have cleaned up Boca Chica....however...they havent replaced the old seedy night life with anything NEW...and non prositution related! SOME of us adults like non sex entertainment when on holiday.

ANyway..i think its great frank is playing in BC. I hope they dont charge..or charge too much so that the local folks can enjoy it.

*sigh* wish i could be there for this one!

Thanks so much for the information.

How far from the Burger King is Jumbo Super Fria? My flight this past weekend was cancelled due to a snow storm so I resheduled for this upcoming weekend. Looks like I got lucky with the change.

Frank Reyes

I saw Frank Reyes in La Romana a few months ago, a great show, seems too big for a Colmado, even if it is Super. However enjoy it will be great wish I could be there.

so...did anyone go this weekend? photos???

I can't help much with the photos. I took a few but they came out real dark. The concert was great. Frank Reyes performed for about two hours. I arrived a little after 10pm and the show got underway a little after 11pm. I bought two tickets outside the entrance for 500 pesos each. Actually the chica I was with bought the tickets. I am not sure if I got the gringo price or not. Either way it was worth every peso.

The super colmado was more than large enough for the event. There were tables outside near the stage and more tables inside in case of rain.

I spent 3 hours drinking Presidentes, cuba libres and trying to learn how to dance. It was one of my better nights in the DR. Plaza Espana in Santo Domingo frequently has live shows on the weekend which are great also.

Too bad there isn't a website where you can get informed on events in the DR.

Thanks jrzyguy for the tip!

I totaly agree! every time i go down i try to find info on who might be playing where. (i would schedule my trip around being able to see somone like reyes, raulin, yoscar or santos)

I lucked out on my last trip a few weeks ago. ON saturday night there was some sort of aniversary party going on for a business....and a whole bunch of bachateros and some regaeton singers as well...and even a good dj between sets. It was one of the best nights i've had in BC. finaly...REAL entertainment! THey should do something like that every week! IT was fun for both tourists as well as locals. If people are serious about cutting down on crime, drugs and prostitution...there needs to be something that takes its place. Live music and entertainment would be a good start.

Glad someone here on DR1 got to catch the show

If you had not posted about the concert I probably would not have known. When I arrived on Friday I didn't see any posters.

I agree with live events on the weekends, it would be great. It sure was a lot better than sitting at the Route 66 bar talking crap with the chicas.

The show was great. There was no violence, great security and a very nice super colmado. The owners put on a well run event! When the show ended I have never seen so many motos show up out of nowhere.
