More than 80 artists from the city of Cotuí in the Dominican Republic gathered to produce a unreleased track, “Unidos Cantemos”, and sing with one voice a new hymn of hope for the whole world.
Musicians, singers, arrangers, composers and producers created a musical title, “Unidos Cantemos”, that is accompanied by an allegorical video at the moment when we are living in social isolation. The release will be this Tuesday April 12 at 6:00 pm in the programme “El Mismo Golpe con Jochy” and on a network of radio and television stations which support this great project made with love. Each musician was recorded from his home or personal home studio and remotely, by editing and postproduction, the images were mixed which gave the desired sounds to the audiovisual.
“With this song, a great tribute is paid to our Cotui village, showing their typical natural beauties and also to Orquesta Universal, a Cotuisana merengue group from the 60’s that was a standard in the Dominican national music”, they said.
