Fridays 14th, 21st, 28th of October, and Thursday 3rd of November, Pedro Clisante street in Sosua will be warming up for the DRJF 2016. Each night we'll get to enjoy the artistic presentations that will make Sosua blossom of music and art.
In the goal of promoting and developing this touristic area through cultural aspects, the DRJF has organized weekly shows, which adhere to the objectives set out by the board of the festival: to promote gender equality and the eradication of violence against women.
"We want to make emphasis on our Sosua events, not only displaying this town as one of the most inclusive of the island for its beautiful beaches and aquatic sports, but also demonstrating the richness of its amazing luxury hotels, in its outstanding quantity of artists, in the magnificent Casa de Arte (House of Art) that holds up free programs in diverse disciplines, in its excellent artisans, in the immense variety of restaurants, in the magic of Cabarete, and in the people's hospitality immersed in happiness." mentioned the director of the Dominican Republic Jazz Festival, who then added that all of this wouldn't be possible if it wasn't for the help of the Ministry of Tourism.
FEDUJAZZ students will be able to share some time and instruction with international musicians during worshops taking place every year at the DR Jazz Festival.
In the month of June we had great musician friends visiting to share experiences , and they provided marvelous workshops to our FEDUJAZZ students. With great participation and enthusiasm from these little music pupils, we felt a fresh air of learning and happiness, in between improvisations, rhythm, and a musical atmosphere of new horizons and possibilities.
We would like to thank Marco and Daniela for their visit to the Fedujazz students and for sharing a fun and fascinating Jazz class!
