Summer News For Rafael & Energia Dominicana
New York, NY (Top40 Charts/ 'LA'Ritmo) VIVO MUSIQUE is pleased to announce some exciting summer activities for the Québécois-Dominican Latin music orchestra Rafael & Energía Dominicana, celebrating the debut album, Enamorarse en la playa. The orchestra will perform at The Montreal International Jazz Festival on June 27, 2014, The Festival International Nuits d'Afrique, on July 17, 2014 and will release a new single and debut video clip for the song "Margarita". The song is an original composition by Rafael in the bomba style with an infectious groove and with roots in the traditions of Porto Rico. The video will be directed by Vincent Egret, whose clips include the mega-hit "Danza Kuduro" by Don Omar featuring Lucenzo, (a clip that has obtained over 550 million views on YouTube) as well as videos for Florence K., Florent Pagny, Natasha St. Pier, Big Ali, Bonnie Tyler, Mellowman, Dubmatique, Rainmen, and Qbanito. Video pre-production for "Margarita" is underway and a shoot is scheduled for June 2014.

These activities mark a period of achievement for Rafael, an artist often referred to as a fighter, or in Spanish, a luchador - he is a passionate performer who never gave up his dream to present his music to the world. Originally from the city of Bani in the Dominican Republic, he is forever attached to his roots, and produced Enamorarse en la playa with his culture at heart, combined with creating an essence of a place he loves the most: the dance floor. Rafael says: "Dreams come true when you have faith in God, you persevere and work tirelessly. It is never too late to achieve your goals. I say this with much humility, but also proudly, to present our Latin music and my country, the Dominican Republic, and grateful to God for the blessings. I am super excited…OYE KE LINDO SUENAAAA!"

Enamorarse en la playa was released on November 19, 2013, and produced by Rafael, Pascal Laraque and Kuky Carbuccia and with Jesus Alejandro El Niño and Chris Perry in Montreal, Quebec. It includes thirteen original compositions by Rafael from different Latin music genres such as merengue, bachata, salsa, and ballad. The album is available on record label Vivo Musique, and distributed by DEP Distribution Ltd./Universal Music Canada/Believe Digital-Numérique.
