It turns out that Buika for the first time vacationed in the DR about a year and a half ago, and admits that she never left the country. That says a lot of how well she is treated in Dominican ambiances, plus she wouldn't be the first Spaniard living in the DR in over 500 years. Case in point, other Spaniards like the Spanish conquistador Juan Garrido the first place he lived after Spain was Santo Domingo in the early 1500's. Also, other Spanish singers like Diego El Cígala has been based in the DR since a few years too. Either way one see it, she isn't the first. Unlike him, though, she says she splits her base in the DR, Miami and Madrid.
This is from 2 weeks ago, but I had not seen it until a few minutes ago.
