What type of music do you like?

I think you need to be more specific. What type of music do you like?

If you like merengue and bachata you have a lot of options. If you like salsa in my opinion really good salsa is from Puerto Rico, Cuba and Colombia with a broad universal popularity. You will also hear nice ballads, bolero, or tropical music in general in the DR.

A few popular artists whose music you will enjoy:

-these are long standing Dominican artists

Merengue:

Hector Acosta- merengue and bachata
Los Toros Band- merengue and bachata
Los Hermanos Rosario- merengue
To?o Rosario-merengue
Rubby Perez- merengue
Milly Quezada- merengue
Eddy Herrera- merengue
Johnny Ventura- merengue
Fernandito Villalona- merengue
Sergio Vargas- merengue
Juan Luis Guerra -tropical
Jossie Esteban- merengue

Bachata:

Frank Reyes
Raulin Rodriguez
Anthony Santos
Luis Vargas
Luis Segura
Zacharias Ferreira
El Chaval
Alex Bueno


Look up these artists and sample their music. Of course this list is only a few of my select choices but you have many more artists and and songs available. These artists are all Dominican.

To start you off with two nice songs (in my opinion) both by Hector Acosta:
