Puerto Plata

Artist’s Website

Now residing in Denver, Puerto Plata, is the 84-year-old Dominican guitarist who has survived the machetes and daggers of a fierce neighborhood rivalry and surprise run-ins with the law, as well as a vicious dictator. Puerto Plata is a living library of an acoustic style that has rarely been heard outside of the Dominican Republic, but which still has a great following there. The musician’s life motto is “Enchanted with life, and forgetting about death,” and his sunny disposition can be heard in every song he performs on his new album, Mujer de Cabaret
