Santo Domingo. – Bachata icon Raulin Rodriguez announced that he is preparing to take on one of the biggest challenges of his artistic career: attempting to set a Guinness record with the longest concert performed by an interpreter singing only songs of his own authorship.
The project contemplates a non-stop 12-hour presentation that will take place from 6:00 in the evening until 6:00 in the morning, in a stadium in the Dominican capital. The artist explained that he is still evaluating whether the venue will be the Félix Sánchez Olympic Stadium or the Quisqueya Juan Marichal Stadium.

The revelation occurred during the second performance of his show "My musical history", held at the Gran Arena del Cibao, in Santiago, where "El Cacique de la Bachata" was received with a massive ovation. On that same stage, Rodríguez was recognized for becoming the second artist to fill the venue for two consecutive nights.The night featured the participation of several guest artists, including Elvis Martínez, who holds the merit of having been the first to achieve two consecutive sold-out shows at the Gran Arena del Cibao. Casilda Rodríguez, accordionists El Prodigio and Daniel Galán, as well as urban artists Crazy Design and Dowba Montana, also took the stage. The concert, which lasted approximately two and a half hours, went through some of the greatest hits of his career, including songs like "Medicina de amor", “Si yo pudiera”, "Hoy te quiero más", "Esta noche", "Corazón con candado", "Nereyda" and "Pobre diablo", among other classics from the bachata repertoire. The artistic production, under the direction of Melissa Castillo and Wander Aquino of StageMW, opened both performances with an audiovisual material that reviewed the most significant moments of Raulín Rodríguez's musical career."It will be twelve hours interpreting songs that I myself have written," stated the singer before an enthusiastic audience that celebrated the ambitious announcement.
