Jany Ventura

Jany Ventura, born José Bienvenido Ureña, was a beloved figure in the Dominican Republic's music scene, known for his vibrant personality and passion for dance. He was particularly famous for his lively imitations of the late merengue star Johnny Ventura. Ureña was a regular at various entertainment venues in the Distrito Nacional, connecting deeply with the local community through his love for son, salsa, and merengue music. Tragically, he became one of the 225 victims of the Jet Set tragedy, prompting an outpouring of grief from family, friends, and fans who celebrated his life and contributions to the cultural fabric of the capital.
