concerts
Daddy Yankee was not here!!! There is talk about him coming to Hemingways but even that is highly doubtful. A local promoter (was involved in Reggaeton concert on Saturday) says no way. He will only come to Santo Domingo.
Lately there has been a bit of a contest going on between hemingways and roadway for concerts. YEs Roadway is WAYYYYY too small to host much of anything. It is very very packed for a concert and you can't move, see or dance.....
El Campito should be starting up with some live acts soon. I'll keep you posted.
However, we rarely know in advance about concerts! One week is a lot of notice here. We listen to the radio and watch for signs being put up along the roads.
Janni - if I see anything I will certainly post it here for you and everyone else!
Last wednesday we had Gilberto Santa Rosa at Hemingways - VIP was 2,250 pesos, next best area was 1,000 pesos and I am told general admission was 500 pesos! It was jammed. But, that is a lot of money to most people.
Roadway had a group - can't remember who - price was 700 pesos per couple and apparently it was standing room only.....
Haven't seen anything for this weekend yet. But I will look tonight.
