Rubby Pérez, a Dominican singer, was performing with his daughter Zulinka when the roof of the Jet Set nightclub collapsed, killing him. His ultimate choice guaranteed his own doom but rescued the life of his daughter.
The catastrophe happened in Santo Domingo, Dominican Republic, early on Tuesday, April 8, 2025.
One of the most famous nightclubs in the nation, Jet Set, abruptly collapsed when Rubby Pérez, his daughter Zulinka, and several members of his orchestra were on stage.
The Final Words Spoken on Stage
Zulinka recounted that the audience requested that she sing “De color de Rosa,” a tune she typically does, prior to the collapse. She came to her father, though, because she didn’t feel capable of handling it alone.
