Dominican Republic
The Dominican Republic, is a country located on the eastern two-thirds of the Caribbean island of Hispaniola, bordering Haiti; the Dominican Republic is a middle-income developing country primarily dependent on agriculture, trade, and services, especially tourism. The Dominican Republic is known for a form of music called Merengue, which has been popular since the mid- to late-1900s; its syncopated beats use Latin percussion, brass instruments, bass and piano or keyboard; what was considered unpopular to the youth, until today, is a form of folk music called Bachata; Dominican culture is heavily based on music. |
