In Bánica, Jima Abajo and San Juan de la Maguana, nights filled with music and culture will be experienced
Santo Domingo, R.D. – The cultural platform Festituricarnaval has the backing of President Luis Abinader, who has promoted this project with the aim that the Dominican people keep their identity and culture alive, allowing families to enjoy great stars of our music completely free of charge.
This initiative reaffirms the current administration’s commitment to the democratization of entertainment and the strengthening of popular traditions in every corner of the country.
To date, Festituricarnaval has managed to gather more than 600,000 people, who have enjoyed live performances by the main exponents of bachata, merengue, dembow, typical merengue, and Caribbean fusions. This massive success is the result of a determined support for folklore and the entertainment industry, known as the orange economy, which boosts local and international tourism and generates a significant economic impact in each city where it takes place.
The programming for this weekend begins on Saturday, March 28th in the municipality of Bánica, starting at 8:00 pm. Plaza Diego Velázquez will be the stage where the renowned merengue singer Aramis Camilo and the urban exponent Poeta Callejero will perform. This activity will feature the special invitation of Mayor Yissell Santana, joining the efforts of the Central Government to bring joy to the communities of the border area.
For Sunday, March 29, the presentations will be held simultaneously starting at 6:00 p.m. In the municipality of Jima Abajo, La Vega province, the Rice Carnival will host an artistic lineup featuring Steffany Constanza, El Rubio del Acordeón and Químico Ultramega, at the invitation of Senator Ramón Rogelio Genao.
In parallel, in San Juan de la Maguana, the local city hall stage will present Sergio Vargas, cultural manager Roldán Mármol, and El Poeta Callejero, at the invitation of Mayor Lenin de la Rosa.
The arrival of Festituricarnaval in these areas boosts the direct and indirect economy, promoting the circular economy that benefits small and medium-sized local merchants. This deployment is possible thanks to the support of the Ministry of Tourism and the sponsorship of Cervecería Nacional Dominicana, Banreservas, Wind Telecom, Indotel, Vial RD and A&B Electromuebles.
With these actions, the platform demonstrates that it remains active, working rigorously so that national pride and popular joy continue to be the engine of our culture.
