The memorable words of singer-composer Facundo Cabral rang loud and clear in everyone's memory nationwide after the news of his murder in Guatemala spread on Saturday. The lyrics of "Si se calla el cantor, calla la vida..." are in the air. In the song, Cabral described how life is silenced when a singer stops singing.

Dominicans were deeply touched by the tragedy.

In 1996, Cabral was designated as a worldwide messenger of peace by the United Nations. He was killed on Saturday in a drive-by shooting, suffering 18 gunshots. It is thought that the attack was aimed at local club owner Henry Farina, who was sitting beside him in the vehicle in which he was headed to the airport.
