Yesterday (Sunday) I had the pleasure of attending my good old friend?s birthday party in cabarete. Judging from his previous parties, I knew this one was going to be another good gathering with a full day of food and music along with company of old friends. There is always a singer who sings old Spanish ?Son musical hits?. This time they had a full merengue band in the house. The day began with live music and delicious food. I even took some food to go; the pink pasta salad was out of this world. Then in the middle of the afternoon, the family announced a surprise, sort of appreciation to the birthday boy for being a good boss, loving husband and a great dad to his kids. They had invited the ?hermanos braho? to the party to sing their favorite hits. Wow wow wow. Let me remind you all that the grupo braho is a famous DR band who have made their name in spain first and now they are back in their homeland to spread their songs among their own people. They write and compose most of their own songs and their songs are even sang by other bachata singers in this country. The boys are from Puerto plata and I knew them way back then when they used to play in hotels in playa dorada. They usually fill up all the concerts events in Santiago (montebar) and people come from far away to see them. I was shocked to see them play in a house party.
Here are some glimpses of their appearance. Sorry for the quality, the pictures and videos are taken by my cell camera.

Actually it was a family event, not a wild n crazy guys party. I don't drink and I didn't even dance. I guess I am too old for dancing. The party was extremely well organized, with family theme as focus.

I think the group has lost their momentum ever since their manager (Alfred) got murdered in front of his house in santiago. No one points as to why he was hit but people do reserve their suspicions. I was assured by berny (the middle braho brother) that Alfred's murder was not drug related. oh well, who knows. I knew alfred and he was a very cool guy. RIP.

I see the sound and video quality is really bad on youtube videos. I have recorded all this with my cell phone camara. Can't expect much for sure.

Telephone number

What do you think they charge for a gig?

If you have a number for them I would appreciate it.

Thanks
