Christmas Gala in Puerto Plata Amphitheater
Sunday evening a spectacular Christmas gala concert took place in the amphitheater at the Malecón of Puerto Plata. Thanks to the sponsorship by Senator José Ignacio Paliza and some companies in Puerto Plata, the Gala was free of charge to the public. That was noticeable, because the amphitheater was packed with the most enthusiastic crowd.
The gala opened early in the evening by the 95 musicians of the National Youth Symphony Orchestra. They played well-known folk songs and the audience sang along. Next singer Maridalia Hernández performed beautiful ballads accompanied by the National Youth Symphony Orchestra. Then followed a performance by the well-known accordionist Francisco Ulloa with traditional merengue songs. The National Youth Symphony Orchestra played a mix of well-known Christmas carols at which the audience once again sang along. The musical evening ended with a performance by Fernando Villalona, also known as El Mayimbe and the king of the merengue and ballads. The concert eventually ended with a fantastic fireworks show.
