Merengue Singer Omega Declares Hunger Strike
GOOGLE is your amigo!
Omega was born on the town of Bonao, Dominican Republic son of Ercilia de La Rosa and Sergio Peter. He grew up in Pantoja, one of the neighborhoods of central Santo Domingo, the capital of the country, where he introduced himself to the genre. Is currently married to Miguelina Sanche, they have two daughters Alejandra and Mariela Sanche.
My point is nobody on the planet knows who this guy is. If he was eaten by a shark, it what not even make " the National Enquirer" So he is on a hunger strike OKAYYY. I even knew about a Panda bear that lost her cub before I knew about this" cornball" and his hunger strike.
BTW The name omega is associated with excellence and he does not fit the bill. SEIKO is more like it then OMEGA.

It's called Mambo - and sometimes can be quite fun to dance to; especially late in the night...
That he snuck out without paying doesn't surprise me
He is known as a bad guy who beats up wimmen... a bad seed so to speak
Don't they call that "Mambo" Merengue de calle? You could tell the guy is a thug. Thanks God he is "singing", else he would be another criminal on the streets. :chinese:
He is more like a digital Timex, but unfortunately, the guy is well known among people who listen to Latin music. He has made a good living doing his craft.
During an interview, I once heard Micheal Miguel saying that Omega was raking in DOP 200K per presentation; Just doing one of these gigs a day one could get one rich in no time.
What s up with all the hate ?
Hey, he doesn't seem to be the smartest guy around, but I love his music (obviously I am not the only one).:classic: Great to dance to, it's time to get over merengue tipico folks
He must have plenty of issues battled up inside. Is it true he was a boxer?
Well, I don't think DOP 200K per gig is enough to get rich very fast. Omega brings a band of 10-12 musicians to every gig. In DR a band musician charges about DOP 5K per gig. He still has to arrange for transportation for band and instruments, clothing for shows for the whole band, marketing, office expenses, employees, recording and rehearse facilities, out-of-court settlement (kidding haha). And those gigs don't come very easy after a few months...
Those guys do 2 and 3 presentations a day... Imaging being double booked 5 days a week. That is 2 Mill in a week... figure 1 Mil in expenses...
Again, I am referring to what Michael Miguel said in an interview..
He is a bad boy alright.. but can rap to the mambo like few others... is fiestas are always full of music, rum and wimmenz... and are very popular..
it's time to get over merengue tipico folks
Fortunately, Mambo, Merengue de calle or whetever you wanna call it, is a fad, just like Meren-house was a fad back in the 90's, and just like Meren-house, this genre is also fading way into the pages of history. I don't hear Merengue de calle in the streets anymore, I go to the clubs, and none of them play that music anymore, nor do people ask for it, that type of music is dying pretty quickly. As for Merengue Tipico, which is the oginal Merengue BTW, it has been popular for more than a century in DR, and nowadays is experiencing probably its best times, at least in the Cibao. I hear tipico every where in Santiago, in the colmados, in the streets, in the radio, heck even in the fancy clubs. Merengue Tipico bands have live presentation in some of the best clubs in Santiago several times a week, and those parties are always full.
I actually love Merengue Tipico, it was just a joke since it is seen as older folks music (and this is coming from someone who went dancing all the way to Nagua to fiestas tipicas on my last trip). I guess I will try Santiago next time :chinese:
Nonetheless, I like Mambo and Omega too. And, as you said, it may very well be a fad. But I see it as Reggaeton, that is geared towards a younger, more urban crowd.
Again,I am no expert, I just like to move my hips
