PRESS RELEASE
Cabarete, Dominican Republic.- Cabarete will show the entire country next Saturday June 4, how a united community can support local education and have a lot of fun at the same time. DREAMin Live is one of the year’s most unique musical events, presenting the 2010 “Blues Guitarist of the Year” Eric Gales and Doug Wimbish from the group Living Colour.
Two of Cabarete’s own, Van Avakian and JP Polsoni will accompany on the drums and guitar, adding a local flavor to this truly original collaboration. The show will take place at Nikki Beach Cabarete and is absolutely free, with a portion of Nikki Beach’s proceeds going towards the DREAM Music Program and educational initiatives.
The DREAM Project, with the support of JetBlue, Jazz Dominicana and the US Embassy’s Office of Cultural Affairs, Centro Franklin, will promote the event, attracting thousands of rock and roll fans, both national and international, to the beach of Cabarete.
In addition to the show, DREAM will hold a special brunch at 11am, Saturday, June 4th for the entire family to launch a full day of fun. This pre-concert event will include the best of a “chill out” Nikki Beach ambiance, with delicious food, incredible music, a silent auction and children activities that offer something for the entire family. Cabarete is a DREAM community and the weekend’s proceeds will go towards innovative education and music programs that invest in our most valuable natural resource: our children.
