Dominican singer Maridalia Hernández has expressed concern regarding the lack of academic and legal frameworks necessary to support professional musical careers in the Dominican Republic. While acknowledging the country's abundant talent and its ability to produce significant new voices, she noted that the current market makes it difficult for artists to maintain their identity without conforming to commercial trends or danceable music.
Hernández emphasized the importance of authenticity and honesty for long-term success in the arts. She advocates for solo artists and those exploring diverse musical languages, arguing that the Dominican Republic has developed a unique musical identity that deserves greater institutional recognition and support.
