Son del Duke Hit by Trio of Departures as Members Cite Emotional Well-Being

Each artist announced the move on social media, citing the need to protect mental health.

Overview

  • Singer Ale Seijas, Kassandra Chanamé, and emcee Jairo “El Santeño” Campos said they are leaving Son del Duke, with their statements published on their own accounts.
  • Seijas thanked director Alex Duke and fans, said attitudes inside the organization made her uncomfortable, and clarified her issues were with some coordinators, not fellow vocalists.
  • Chanamé described mixed experiences in the group, stressed respect and personal value, and wrote that some situations could no longer be tolerated.
  • Campos, departing after two years, thanked Alex Omar Duque specifically in a message that suggested internal disagreements.
  • The group’s leadership has not issued a public response; Seijas had been with the orchestra about eight months and said she will continue releasing new music after a recent Europe tour.
