Radio
When I lived in the DR, I listened to radio 6, quatachita(I don't know the exact spelling). There were a lot of love songs played back then, in 1964-67 when I was there. Our maid, Mersadies, listened to it and would teach me spanish, I forgot it because no one spoke it to me when I returned to the US. If any DR musicians want to break into the world scene, they must sample what the rest of the world is listening too. Spanish speaking countries everywhere have their top 10 list, as well as other language venues. Three minute tunes are the best bet because the average person gets bored after that and tunes out. I am an internationally known musician in the english speaking world and have several 3 minute tunes that are played on the radio. One of my tunes plays for 15 minutes and 07 seconds, Epiphany, is all music played with 2 insruments, but sounds like more. If you listen to it, try to guess which ones I used, if you can.
