San Juan.– The New York urban group of Dominican origin  –dubbed The Kings of Bachata– marked a page in Puerto Rico’s musical history on Thursday at the José Miguel Agrelot Coliseum, as it effortlessly won the acclaim of an audience that defied decibel levels and ignored the venue’s seats for nearly three hours.

“I’m finally at my other home. I swear to you that this is very personal to me,” said Anthony “Romeo” Santos, the band’s vocalist and composer.  “I need to feel the love of Puerto Ricans tonight.”

The group of two brothers and two cousins –all with the last name Santos– kicked off the first show of a record-breaking, five-concert series as part of its 15-stop international concert tour titled “The Kings: Live.”

For Haitians everybody in Dominican Republic has some haitian blood, is this low self esteem
or lack of personality, guess that Juan Luis Guerra, Michael Camilo, Oscar de la renta, Jaime D. F Mirabal, Frank Ranieri, Leon Jimenes Family, Bermudez Family, Brugal Family, Cabral family, villeya family, Rancier family, etc. etc have some Haitian blood too.

Great for Aventuras, from what I read they sold out their act five consecutive time, something never done before in PR, keep up the good work.

Sorry Rubi, I have mistyped, I meant to say Trujillo had some Haitian blood in him from his mothers side ( The Chevalier Family)
Rubi listen, next month Higuey will be a mecca for Haitians for the happy feast of Our Lady Of Altagracia.
They will spend thousands of dollars that could give a boost to the economy of that municipality/
Contain your anger and be patient .

Now I realize that you are part of the "Creole Gang" posting your lame comments, good luck
with your diatribe and let's see what happens in the near future to your people.

The Chevalier "myth" is another Haitian "cinderella story" to feel superior to Dominicans and as long as Dominicans are reconigzed worldwide We will have haitians in our backs like tails trying
to get credit not earned or deserved.

Haitians are an inferior race and want to live in the past talking about unrealistic issues and
dreaming about 1804 while your country is nothing but a dumpster.

"Mecca" ??? for what??? to make the city dirty and filthy, you give me joyful comments and kool aid happiness with your creole opinions, Haitians like you need to be more

Last time I check the Spanish equivalent for Creole was Criollo.
Originally referred to human of purebred Spanish ancestry that were born in Americas
What a waste of intellect !!

Last time I checked you are living in Long Island !
Long Island ! Most of my upper class Haitians friends live there.
There are doctors,lawyers,teachers dark like charcoal.
One of the best Haitian eye Doctor Dr Romulus lives in Westburry in a 5 bedrooms 3 bath 3 car garage house.
Rubi ,I thought that the only Haitians that you have shouldered in your life was the the Haitians living in in the bateys.
How come you have a one sided opinion of Haitians?

I noticed that you are one of the bunch always complaining about something but never doing anything proactive to solve anything, Haitians love to show up quotes, statistics, history, information, data but at the end what do you achieve as long as it is a little bit of the same
mediocrity, I haven't meet so far a "well known haitian" anywhere in this planet.
You are one of the ones that insult our intelligence with irrelevant comments and non sense diatribe trying to diminish Dominican achievements, you are one of the ones that live in the dark ages trying to preach old known facts about History, mythology, vodoo and non relevant facts, you are of the ones that hate Dominican Republic reputation and facts and finally you are of the ones that will always live in misery, mediocrity and aboslutely 200 years of haitian ignorance for years to come.
