Thursday, October 13, 2011

A while back I wrote about Joan Soriano, El Duque de la Bachata, and the great documentary describing his struggles in becoming a bachata music artist.

This weekend you all have the opportunity to meet the man in the documentary as he performs live in concert!  Joan Soriano is performing live at Club Caribe along with Grupo Completo.  If you are new to his music you can get a short glimpse of his work in this video:


For more information on this concert and to network with others going to the concert you can RSVP on the event page created on the San Diego Salsa & Latin Dancing Meetup Group.

Don’t miss out on this great artist performing live here in San Diego!

‘El Duque de la Bachata’ Documentary Coming to San Diego!

Friday, May 15, 2009

 

 

I wanted to let you all know about an upcoming film that will hopefully be screening here in San Diego.

El Duque de la Bachata is the story of Joan Soriano, a Bachata Musician from the Dominican Republic.  The documentary follows his struggles to reach his goal of a releasing a hit CD and success as a musician. The story is also unique as it shows how his family is affected and involved in this musician’s life.

The film documents Joan’s bachata and merengue career, giving us all an in depth look at what rising artists must go through to make it big.   Joan has been featured on the Rough Guide to the Bachata and on the documentary Santo Domingo Blues as well as performed and recorded with big name bachata musicians such as Joe Veras and Zacarias Ferreira. However, at 35 he still has not had his own hit and is feeling the pressure now to make it big more than ever. Within the last few years, a music producer named Benjamin de Menil from IASO Records has begun recording a CD of Joan’s music and is now moving toward the CD’s completion with high hopes that it will be a hit.  El Duque de la Bachata is full of  great music, Dominican culture, and intimate portraits.

The film is produced and directed by Adam Taub.  Mr. Taub is looking to screen the film here in San Diego from June 17th to the 27th and is looking for venues to host a question and answer session, screening, and possible bachata dancing event.  If you can help you can contact Mr. Taub here.  Thanks to Mr. Taub for producing this great film!
