Miami, FL (June 17, 2013). – They’re two of most respected songwriters and singers of a generation – Draco and Juan Luís Guerra. Both of them are known for reimagining and mixing the music of their respective islands – Puerto Rico and the Dominican Republic – and championing their nations’ musical traditions around the world.
Now, these two greats have united for the music video of “Esto es Vida” (This Is Life), the most recent single from Draco’s latest album Vida.
Filming for this lovely video took place at the Engombe Sugar Mill, a historic 16th-century site on the outskirts of Santo Domingo that includes a two-story mansion and chapel.
The video was directed by Jean Gabriel Guerra, who is Juan Luís Guerra’s son. The Dominican Republic’s Ministry of the Environment also provided support for the video shoot.
Fusing light, Afro-Latin percussion with shades of blues, “Esto es Vida”, written by Draco, praises the simple pleasures of love and transports us to delightful transcendence. It’s a perfect duet for Draco and Juan Luís Guerra, who have always known how to make heartfelt music from their poetic inspiration.
