The nominees for the third edition of the Dominican Indie Awards and musical diversity is highlighted.
The most nominated artists are Juan Luis Guerra y Manerra with eight nominations each. It should be noted that in the 1st edition of the Manerra awards he was the most nominated. Riccie Oriach and Manny Cruz They follow with 7 nominations each.
Dominican Indie Awards It is a completely musical award in which only the quality and not the popularity of the artists is judged, the name of indie comes because it is not made up of any guild.
“Despite the little support received from companies and the government, they have felt massive support and respect from the artists, and that is because the jury is made up of specialists within each area of music,” said the producer Jose Luis Freitas.
In this edition, more than 800 songs were registered, so the work of listening to everything took several months.
The nominees were announced in a special broadcast on the Revolución Sonora channel (the awards production house) where artists such as Xiomara Fortuna, Frank Ceara, Mudovan, La Banda, Nelson García, Karina Pasian and Tierra Fértil announced the nominees along with the musicians and producers Jochy Sánchez, Ambiorix Francisco, Otoniel Nicolas, Ricardo Ramos and Antonio González completed the nomination announcements.
The Best Album category is just as varied as in previous installments. Raulín Rosendo (who added 3 nominations) represents salsa, classical music by the Trio Peña Comas and Aisha Syed.
Jazz by The Dominican Jazz Project, urban music by Redimi2, merengue by Manny Cruz, Rock by Altherego (the big surprise in this category). Pop by Alex Ferreira and Riccie Oriach and Juan Luis Guerra represent world music.
“The late artist Johnny Ventura has 5 nominations despite no longer being with us. His collaborations with Nestor Torres and Fernando Villalona (who got 4 nominations) put him among the artists with the most nominations,” added Freitas.
Xiomara Fortuna and Maffio were two of the artists with the most nominations, with six each. There are three very different artists Aysha Syed (classical music) Altherego (rock) and Redimi2 (urban) who have 5 nominations each.
The date of the awards will be announced later as well as the people who will be honored.
