Prison Gig First Lady

This is really part three of the story. Please click here for the background to the prison gigs [part one].
In May 2006, British Ambassador Andy Ashcroft, Roberta Santana and Mike Charles [Los Tres Rebeldes] were invited to perform again at Najayo women`s prison in the Dominican Republic for Margarita de Cideno de Fernandez, wife of the Dominican President Leonel Fernandez Reyna.

This event was to publicise Dominican Mother`s Day and the prisoners were allowed to bring their children into the prison for the day.

I was priviledged to meet Margarita de Cideno de Fernandez, wife of Leonel Fernandez, President of Dominican Republic.
