DOMINICAN REPUBLIC JAZZ FESTIVAL2010 DATES ANNOUNCED

The Dominican Republic Jazz Festival is a festival full of rhythm, flavour and colour that each year is wrapped in the fragrant air of the North Coast of the Dominican Republic. Renowned for merengue it is no surprise that the annual event attracts a line-up of some of the best Latin jazz performers and this year promises to be no different. Musicians participating at the Festival will include internationally renowned jazz musicians such as Chucho Valdez (the world-famous Cuban pianist) and Danilo Perez (one of Panama’s great jazz pianists). This year the Jazz Festival runs from 25th – 27th November and the event kicks off on 25th November in Santiago at the “Gran Teatro del Cibao,” the country’s second largest theatre. Santiago is located some 45 minutes south of Puerto Plata. After the grand opening, the music festival will move to the beach at Cabarete on the 26th and 27th November. Cabarete is located only 20 minutes away from the Puerto Plata International Airport on the northern shore of the Dominican Republic. The venue could not be more perfect. The festival will have as a backdrop to the music being played the murmur of the waves.
