Former Minister of Tourism Felix (Felucho) Jim\u00e9nez wants to be remembered for compiling the best Dominican classics music collection. The PLD politician has presided over the Dominican Oil Refinery (Refidomsa) for the past five years. During this time, he headed a major effort to compile the most comprehensive collection of Dominican music classics. He says the collections are a reality today thanks to donations Refidomsa providers have made to the Fundaci\u00f3n Refidomsa that has spearheaded the cultural initiative.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

116 discs and four DVDs contain seven collections of popular and classical music, Dominican performers, composers, orchestras and arrangers.
The music collections are “Cl\u00e1sicos Dominicanos,” “Antolog\u00eda musical”, “Canci\u00f3n Rom\u00e1ntica,” “Voces dominicanas de ayer y siempre,” “Orquestas y conjuntos dominicanos del siglo XX,” “Canto a Quisqueya” and “Un siglo de m\u00fasica dominicana”.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Jim\u00e9nez said these collections are not for sale. He said they will be uploaded to YouTube and other music platforms.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“The discs, DVDs and USB memories will be part of the Dominican Music Museum. They will be in the General Archives of the Nation, they are being given as gifts to music academies and 100 of the most important radio stations in the Dominican Republic,” he explained. He said the collections would also be sent to the Dominican embassies around the world.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Several leading arrangers and Dominican singers participated in the initiative. Maestro Jochy Sanchez said the anthology of Dominican music will transcend. He said filmmakers will now have a collection of classic music to choose the music for their productions. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Others that have made important contributions to the collection are Adalgisa Pantaleon, Dante Cucurullo, and Dioni Fernandez. Overall, the hard work of more than 20 arrangers and more than 30 vocalists, pays tribute, for example, in the collection “Antolog\u00eda musical” (six CDs), to the composers Luis Kalaff, Luis Rivera, Bullumba Landestoy, Mois\u00e9s Zouain, Billo Fr\u00f3meta and Mario de Jes\u00fas, whose compositions are sung by V\u00edctor V\u00edctor, Rando Camasta, Frank Ceara, Claudia Sierra, Patricia Pereyra, Nathalie Hazim, Many Cruz, Diomary Castillo, V\u00edctor Tolentino and Melvin Francisco.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

There is a tribute to singer-composer Victor Victor, who recently passed away of the Covid-19 virus.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
