Copiapo, Chile.- The network CNN reports that some of the miners trapped some 700 meters below the surface could be heard playing songs from Dominican merengue artist Juan Luis Guerra and other tunes sent down by officials, who are expected to distribute on Wednesday copies of a video that the miners sent for their relatives.

“Some relatives emerged from a private screening held in the tents that comprise Camp Hope at the entrance to the mine solemn-faced; others were teary; yet most appeared happy,” CNN reported.

It adds that over the last few days, rescuers have sent the miners MP3 players and small speakers with a selection of music including Mexican rancheras, Puerto Rican reggaeton and Dominican merengue.

Jeez hellborn25...Don't you think that they sent food and water first? In fact if you have even casually followed the story you would know that they already have a few days ago.

hellborn, do you really think that food and water wasn't the first things sent? they are now trying to make them a little more comfortable to deal with the anticipated lengthy extraction process.

The whole is only 4 inches wide they are sending things through so they will be quite limited in what creature comforts they will receive until they are rescued

DR is a country of such incredibly fascinating contradictions. On one hand you have the genius of a guy like a Juan Luis Guerra and then on the other well you know what's on the other, it's not even worth mentioning...
