Dominican artist El Nephew will be a special guest and will receive recognition within the framework of the 182nd anniversary of the Independence of the Dominican Republic, during the emblematic lighting of Niagara Falls with the colors of the national flag.
The ceremony also commemorates the 72 years of commercial and diplomatic relations between the Dominican Republic and Canada, reaffirming the cultural ties between both nations in a setting of high international symbolism.

Originally from Villa Altagracia, El Nephew has established himself as one of the most authentic and disruptive voices in the new bachata. His musical proposal, called
“BachaBow”, fuses the traditional essence of the genre with a contemporary aesthetic, managing to connect with the Dominican diaspora and project bachata towards new global audiences.
Topics such as “Tolentino” and
“Porta Panty”, produced and composed by the artist himself, showcase his creative mark. Through satire, wit, and a direct social narrative, he addresses dynamics of love and heartbreak, as well as realities linked to scams, blackmail, and manipulation present in different social environments. His music has been valued for balancing denunciation, humor, and authenticity within a fresh and innovative artistic identity.
Beyond music, the artist also ventures into cinema with his participation in the film La Vida Chueca, executive produced by Un Chin Media, which features Carlos Sánchez, Lía Lockhart, Juan Fernández, Dominique Telemaque, Ovandy Camilo, La Pitonisa and Splou.
A year ago, the artist made his acting debut in the production “The Rejects,” sharing the screen with Santiago Matías (Alofoke), Manolo Ozuna, Fausto Mata, and Frank Perozo.
On this solemn occasion, we recognize not only your talent, but also your artistic courage and your commitment to narrating stories that many live, but few dare to tell, thus consolidating your contribution to the evolution of Dominican music on a stage that today proudly illuminates the Quisqueyan culture in Canada.
