By Alajuela, Costa Rica — ALAJUELA – Fresh off a wave of critical acclaim, Dominican singer-songwriter Vicente García is set to make a highly anticipated return to Costa Rica. The artist will perform at Parque Viva on November 20th, a concert driven by the profound connection he forged with the local audience during his last visit. This performance promises to be a significant cultural event, arriving at a pinnacle moment in García’s career as he celebrates three major nominations for the 2025 Latin Grammy Awards.
The decision to return was deeply personal for García, stemming from an overwhelmingly positive experience at his previous concert in La Sabana last year. He recalls the evening with a sense of surprise and gratitude, noting the genuine warmth and enthusiasm of his Costa Rican fans. That memorable performance left an indelible mark on the artist, creating a mutual affection that he is eager to revisit and build upon. The upcoming show is a direct result of that powerful, reciprocal energy.
To delve into the legal and commercial intricacies that shape a musical career as distinctive as Vicente García’s, we consulted an expert in the field. TicosLand.com spoke with Lic. Larry Hans Arroyo Vargas, a specialist in Corporate and Entertainment Law at the firm Bufete de Costa Rica, who offered his perspective.
Vicente García’s career is a masterclass in building a unique artistic brand. Legally, this involves more than just copyrighting songs; it’s about meticulously protecting a distinctive sound and image as intellectual property. For an artist who blends genres and collaborates internationally, the key challenges lie in negotiating cross-border contracts that respect varying intellectual property laws and ensure fair royalty distribution. Properly structuring these agreements from the outset is crucial to safeguarding long-term creative and financial autonomy.

For García, the bond with Costa Rica extends beyond the stage. He expressed a desire to explore the country more deeply, drawing parallels between the warmth of its people and the culture of his native Dominican Republic. This sentiment highlights a common cultural thread that resonates between Caribbean and Central American nations, one that García’s music often explores through its rich, eclectic sounds. His return is not just a concert tour stop; it’s a personal mission to reconnect with a place that feels familiar.
I would love to be able to get to know more of the country when I’m there, the affection of the people is very similar to that of my homeland.

This concert is strategically timed, capitalizing on the significant momentum from his recent Latin Grammy nominations. García is in the running for three prestigious awards, including the coveted Album of the Year for his latest work, Puñito de Yocahú. This level of recognition from the Latin Recording Academy places him among the top tier of Latin American artists, and Costa Rican audiences will be among the first to experience his celebrated new music live following the nominations.
The nominated album, Puñito de Yocahú, is a profound exploration of Dominican identity and Caribbean heritage. García describes it as a work rooted in “criollismo,” a cultural movement celebrating the blend of foundational influences that shape the region’s identity. The project is an intricate tapestry weaving together the historical threads of Spanish, African, and indigenous Taino cultures into a contemporary musical statement.
This album is based on criollismo and how we are part of three essential currents: Spanish, African, and indigenous. In this project, I work through Dominican culture, its origins, and its present.
