What's happening with Merengue nowadays? I am so dissapointed with the garbage that I am hearing from some so called merengueros. I love to dance merengue specially when they have a good "mambo" but it seems that anyone with a good "mambo" can be a merenguero. I remember listening to merengue when I was growing up and not only were they good songs do dance to but the lyrics actually meant something. Artists like Juan Luis Guerra, Alex Bueno, Ray Polanco, Fernandito Villalona and Wilfrido Vargas...those guys to me are the greatest merengueros of all time. Listening to Villalona songs always brings me back to the days growing up in BANI and makes me proud of being Dominican. Juan Luis Guerra...he's just great overall. His lyrics are as beautiful as they get. Tulile and Tono Rosario are just making garbage...what the hell ituliquitaca??????
I'll dance to todays merengue but I would never buy the records. I'll stick to my Merengue Clasico and my favorite artists who have enough talent to actually put lyrics behind their mambo.
