"I have to congratulate Santiago Matías and his entire production team and everyone involved in La Casa de Alofoke. Santiago has a problem, I recognize it, and it's that Santiago comes up with ideas on the fly. He says: 'I'm going to make a house of the famous' and you think it's a whim, a spur... and he ends up doing a damn thing. The thing being successful and you are in shock, because the guy is like that, the guy is impulsive," Vargas expressed in his radio space "El Ritmo de la Mañana."
He added that, from a business perspective, Matías has unintentionally dealt a "mortal blow" to traditional and online television, demonstrating that attracting audiences today depends on large investments, modern structures, and formats adapted to current consumption, a risk that the CEO of Alofoke Media Group assumed. "That format he put there cost an investment," he stated.
The communicator also highlighted that the magnitude of the project represents a break with conventional schemes, by producing high-impact local content without depending on traditional television. The commitment to streaming, social networks and real-time interaction with the audience makes a significant difference, says Vargas.
In his statements, Vargas highlighted the production of the reality show, which involved a millionaire investment in infrastructure, logistics, technical personnel, and media strategy, applauding the entrepreneurial risk that Matías assumed with the aim of innovating and connecting with new audiences, including the international audience who are native consumers of digital content.
Vargas concluded by pointing out that initiatives like this contribute to the strengthening of the Dominican creative industry, and position Santiago Matías as one of the key figures in the development of new production models with regional and international reach.
The House of Alofoke, the reality show by Alofoke Media Group, has maintained high visibility since its premiere, generating daily conversation on social media, occupying spaces in traditional media, and attracting a multi-generational audience that exceeds 10 million in just 48 hours.
Its combination of entertainment, drama, and coexistence among the ten participants has made it a media phenomenon.
