After a career of 60 years of artistic life dedicated exclusively to the bachata genre, Luis Segura“El Papá de la Bachata”, with great nostalgia announces that he will perform his first and last concert of his career, dedicated to the Dominican public who have welcomed his songs, turning them into classics of the Dominican discography.
The concert by the pioneer of the genre, entitled “End of History”, will be presented at the Gran Arena del Cibao on July 29, and comes just when the octogenarian musician and singer has received “El Gran Soberano”, the highest award given by Dominican artistic criticism to the trajectory of an artist in the country.
He was also awarded a Soberano Award for the song “Las de Juan Luis”, with the collaboration of Juan Luis Guerra, and a Latin Grammy Award nomination for his album “El Papá de la Bachata, su Legado”, for which it had the collaboration of forty other outstanding artists of different genres, generations and nationalities.
The legendary Dominican artist will be accompanied by a cast of more than sixty artists on stage, with a production that contemplates his long and successful artistic career, which has contributed fundamentally to the development of bachata.
The concert proposes a display of deep nostalgia, during which the most emblematic moments of Luis Segura’s extensive repertoire and the musical genre to which he has dedicated his life will be described.
His impeccable passage through the path of art, his proven talent as a composer and musical author, and the transcendence of his artistic life, have earned Luis Segura recognition by three generations as a symbol of art in the Dominican Republic, which with his iconic bachata “Pena Por Ti”, among many others, was able to place the genre at higher levels and in the acceptance of a more demanding audience.
The assembly and production of the show is directed by the company WQ Producciones, which has been developing, together with the Segura family, everything related to the legacy and closure of this national emblem.
The show includes an orchestra of more than 20 musicians, dancers and the use of state-of-the-art technology to complete the satisfaction of the public.
