Here in England my Housemates hate me for that.I start my day with Bachata and finishing with Marenque. "Princessa" IS MY BEST SONG EVER.
Maybe they have got sankies,coruption,moskitos etc etc...
But..... Dominican Republic Thank you for the music

M.a.r.-
If you are referring to a song from Raulin's latest album that song you referenced is 'Se me salen las l?grimas'. Truly awesome.

While I'm in this thread my take on Dominican music is as follows:
1/ Merengue -the older the better. There are many trademark artists.
2/ Bachata- the colossal artists of the genre only. Those who have set the stage and endured the test of time.

Thanks- the title you listed is also part of one of the verses in Se me salen las lágrimas so I thought it was that song.
Have you listened to the new album yet? You would enjoy it but I could see you really enjoy Si no te tengo that was from 2004. Anyway that was the start of Raulin's change in bachata meaning his first album with the guidance of Davicito Paredes which was a success then followed by Piel sin alma and now A dónde iré sin ti .
I don't follow Perico Ripiao. Just the odd song here and there.

Momita-
We have had discussions about this recently. Bachateras are not popular for many reasons. Currently most bachateras are back up vocalists although there are three that I believe are great but not well marketed.
My recommendations: Vanessa Gil, Valeria and La Vickiana

Perhaps the most popular bachatera is neither a backup singer or a soloist, but half of a highly successful duo. Alexandra, along with her partner Monchy, has sold a lot of records and won a lot of awards. I don't know who has the creative (writing) chops in this collaberation, but IMHO she carries him vocally.
Agree-
I mentioned Monchy & Alexandra in my link when we had the discussion about bachateras two months ago. I agree they are young, dynamic and the bachatas they sing are very melodic etc.
The only aspect is the critics are bit tough on them because many of their bachatas are remakes of old vallenatos which is common but their first album was mostly vallenatos remakes which shows lack of creativity. Their most recent album Hasta el fin (2004- they may have another release by now) shows they have talent. It has many unique melodic rhythms. The hit song is "Perdidos"... nosotros estamos perdidos en un barco sin destino, navegando lo prohibido...beautiful balada/bachata.
The other bachateras I mentioned are great too. Especially Vanessa Gil. She has a wonderful voice.

I like merengue ripiao which originated in the "Cibao" region of the Dominican Republic. There are many good modern groups today that play this type of merengue. But there is one group in particular from the 50's , "El Trio Reynoso", which earns my vote for the top exponent of the perico ripiao ("merengue cibaeño"). In my opinion, anybody listening to a "Trio Reynoso" will know the good heart and true identity of the Dominican people.
Hi, my husband and I recently came back from honeymoon in the DR. We stayed at Macao, Uvero Alto and had a great time!
I really loved the music that the resort would play day in and day out, many of the staff would merrily sing along to the music. The same songs were playing at Punta Cana airport on our way home.
Obviously I have absolutely no idea of what these songs are called or who they're by, but I wondered if anyone could name me some popular DR songs as I assume similar popular DR music would be played in many of the resorts.
Cheers :cheeky:

I love Merenge and Bachata equally, and it depends on the mood.
Bachata lyrics take me to another place...sometimes when I'm down I'll listen to one and think "ok maybe my life isn't so bad". Seriously, I love Bachata.
Merengue with its double-entendre and funny lyrics reminds me of Soca and Calypso, fun, fun music. It is easy to dance to and work to. Merenge helps me get the housework done, LOL

CDs of Best & Most Popular Music in the DR
Neil de CT,
Please excuse my editing your post but this is the "Best in the DR' forum and as such the purpose of this thread is for people to express their opinion concerning the "Best" here so that other people can get an idea as to the best, (place to go), (place to eat), (things to see) etc.
It was designed as a quick reference point for those that are looking for the "Best" _______ in the DR.
I would suggest that you post your question in the "Living" forum or the "General" forum as a new thread.
Thank you.
Rick
