The renowned Dominican astrologer Víctor Florencio, better known as El Niño Prodigio, expressed his deep sorrow after the tragedy that occurred in Santo Domingo, Dominican Republic, which claimed the life of the legendary merenguero Rubby Pérez and at least 65 other people.
From his official Instagram account, El Niño Prodigio shared two publications full of pain and spirituality.
Today my soul hurts: Niño Prodigio
In his publications he not only paid tribute to Rubby Pérez – whom he called “one of the greatest voices my Dominican Republic has ever produced” – but also offered prayers for all the victims and their families.
“Today it hurts my soul to receive the news of the passing of our beloved Rubby Pérez,” wrote El Niño Prodigio on Instagram.
“His legacy will live forever in every note, song and Dominican heart that listened to him and loved him,” added the seer.
“I ask God to receive him with honor and peace, as the great artist and human being he was. May his spirit fly high and his voice continue to sing in eternity,” he concluded his message dedicated to Rubby Perez.
Raise prayers for the Dominican Republic
In a second publication, more extensive and directed to the Dominican people, the Niño Prodigio showed his empathy as a spiritual guide and compatriot:
“My heart dawned broken and my soul in mourning. Last night, my beloved Dominican people were shaken by a tragedy that has left great pain.”
“An accident has claimed innocent lives and has stained many families with tears. I ask my beings of light, the 21 Divisions, my mysteries, to manifest with mercy, to embrace every mother, father, child, partner and friend who lost a loved one in this tragic event,” added the seer.
“May divine and earthly justice be present,” Florencio also wrote.
El Niño Prodigio closed his message by symbolically lighting a white candle for the departed souls, with an emotional message of unity: “Long live the Dominican Republic, today stronger in unity, prayer and love”.
What happened in Santo Domingo?
The tragedy occurred in the early hours of Tuesday, April 8, when the roof of the Jet Set discotheque, one of the most emblematic in the Dominican capital, collapsed in the middle of a concert by merenguero Rubby Pérez. The accident left at least 66 people dead and more than 160 injured, according to reports from the Emergency Operations Center (COE).
In addition to the death of Rubby Pérez, 69, other well-known figures such as Octavio Dotel and Tony Blanco, former Major League Baseball players, as well as Nelsy Cruz, governor of Montecristi and sister of baseball player Nelson Cruz, were also confirmed dead.

Victor Florencio, who resides in New York and is followed by millions of Hispanics in the United States and Latin America, has been an influential spiritual voice within the Latino community for years.
His reaction to the tragedy in Santo Domingo has resonated widely among his followers, who appreciated his message of comfort and hope.
The tragedy has prompted expressions of solidarity from different parts of the world, both artistic and political.
Dominican President Luis Abinader declared three days of national mourning and assured that the causes of the collapse will be thoroughly investigated.
