There's also off shoots called pasebol and I forget the rest. Old vallenato was sung with guitars and still is in some places. We also have other regional music with derivatives, sub-styles, and adaptions (La Camisa Negra is actually a vulgar paisa music called guasca that was famous WORLD WIDE) such as champeta, mapale, currulao, torbellino, bambuco, san juaneros, san juanitos (technically ecuadorian), passillos (ecuadorian), joropo llaneros, spanish rock, aguabajo, bambuco fiestero, bambuco negro, Alabao,Andarele o Amanecer,Arrullo,Bambara Negra, Bambuco Viejo, Berej?,Boga, Bunde Chocoano, Caderona , Calipso Chocoano,Chigualo o Gual?,Contradanza Chocoana,Danza Chocoana,Jota Chocoana,Juga,La Caramba,La Madruga,Makerule,Mazurka chocoana,Pango o Pangora,Patacor?,Polka Chocoana,Porro Chocoano,Preg?n,Romance,Salve,Saporrond?n o Sapo-Rond?,Son Chocoano,Tamborito Chocoano,Tiguarand?,Villancico Chocoano,Bunde,Ca?a,Ca?abrava,Carranga,Copla,Danza Criolla,Porro Antioque?o,Rajale?a,Rumba Campesina,Fandanguillo Criollo,Guabina,Guane?a,Pasillo,Sanjuanero,Torbell ino,Vueltas Antioque?as,Criollo waltz
That's just 2 regions alone and I doubt other than Dominican Merengue, Bachata, and a few regional rythms in DR it still wouldn't match half of this list which is 25 % of the different styles of music that we have. Will they ever get international status? Unlikely, but I can guarantee you that we have more diversity, more ingenuity, more talent in music, gastronomy, sports, and in arts than what you give us credit for.
Truth, to be honest, I absolutely love Dominican culture, beautiful women , and amazing amazing people. We shouldn't be fighting in the Latino/Hispanic community like this instead of apreciating each other, because when we do that we apreceate who we are and what we have more.
Lastly I leave this
