With summer winding up and the kids about to return to school, Casa de Campo brings Brazilian legend Caetano Veloso to perform at its 5,000-seat Altos de Chavon amphitheater in La Romana on Friday, 17 August at 8pm. Note that Friday is the start of a long weekend in the DR, with Monday off for Restoration Day celebrations (commemorating the return of independence from Spain in 1865). Veloso has been called the Bob Dylan of Brazil and the Brazilian troubadour. The New York Times described him as “Brazil’s unofficial poet laureate.” He recently released Ce, with rock tunes, produced together with his son. General admission to the Altos de Chavon concert is RD$1,000, preferred center seating RD$2,500 and VIP tickets RD$4,000.
