Over 20 musical performers are coming together for a concert in support of the preservation of Los Haitises, the singular karst region in northeastern DR, considered the main source of water for the south and eastern regions. The event is scheduled for Sunday, 19 July starting at 4pm at Plaza de Espana, in Santo Domingo's Colonial City.
Several young composers are writing lyrics and music especially for the event. They join the grassroots movements campaigning to convince the Dominican Mining Consortium to relocate its cement plant to a less vulnerable location. Calor Urbano, Marel Alemany, Janio Lora, Pavel Nunez, Gnomico, Pablo Cavallo, Victor Victor, Son Abril, Grado Celcius, Cayhao, Sociedad Tabu, Juango Davalos, Diego Mena, Nelson Poket, Xiomara Fortuna, Marte o Venus, Tony Almont and DJ Visionario are among the participants who have signed up to join their voices to raise awareness about the threat posed by the construction of the cement plant to the district of Gonzalo, in the province of Monte Plata.
Music for Los Haitises is part of a campaign strategy that also includes the sale of t-shirts, pins and car banners, all of which are for sale at Casa de Teatro, Meson de Bari, Encuentro Artesanal, Quintana Bar, Narbon, Cinema Cafe, Modafoca and Beer House.
