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.

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.
