| From streetside cafes to neighborhood
salsa bars, from swanky discos to boom boxes on the beach,
from lively floor-shows in the big resorts to the soft strumming
of a single guitar in the barrio, Dominican music is everywhere.
Bachata, the traditional music of the campo, salsa with its
hot, sultry beat and the smooth, fluid sounds of well-orchestrated
merengue; Dominican
music is as much a part of the Dominican experience as anything
else, maybe more. Blessed with a natural
sense of rhythm and grace, most Dominicans embrace the allure
of their island’s music as they respond to the primordial
urges within us all and dance in celebration of the joy of
life. |

| Juan
Luis Guerra, Fernandito Villalona, Anthony Santos, Monchy
y Alexandra, Tonio Rosario,
Frank Reyes, The X Band and Los Toros band: the music of
these and many other Dominican artists is rapidly gaining
in popularity and leaping international boundaries. The resurgence
of latin music throughout the world and the recent Grammy
nomination of Juan Luis Guerra’s “Arioso” album
have showcased Dominican music far beyond our island’s
shores. |
