Carlos Alfredo Fatule Shines in Dominican Get-Together

For its third Dominican Get-Together of the year, the Global Foundation for Democracy and Development (GFDD) hosted Carlos Alfredo Fatule, noted Dominican entertainer and actor for an evening of culture and discussion in Symphony Space’s Leonard Nimoy Thalia theater in Manhattan’s Upper West Side.

During the event, Fatule staged a one-man show with a duration of approximately 40 minutes to a full house, discussing his beginnings and career path from day one to present through songs and monologues. Alongside the Dominican community who came out for the event, famed Dominican tenor and cousin of Fatule, Francisco Casanova, was in attendance.

Following his show, Fatule sat down with Yamile Eusebio Paulino, Acting
Co-Executive Director of GFDD, for a Q&A session featuring broad participation from the public in attendance. During this portion of the evening, Fatule expressed his happiness at being featured in a brief but exciting encounter with the Dominican community. Meanwhile, Eusebio noted the pride that Dominicans both at home and abroad have for Fatule’s work, stating that it is a great opportunity to meet “an artist so full of talent and such a responsible
professional.”

Vladimir Reyes, a spectator and
participant in the Get-Together, stated that Fatule’s story “Was very admirable… It talks about a Dominican who overcame a lot.”
