There's a merengue festival coming in November and that's going to be held in Puerto Plata. Do a search for it on the board and you'll find plenty of details on that. However, if that's not your time frame then I suggest Santo Domingo.

SD is the capital city and there's always something going on, plenty of clubs to catch live bands. I would suggest checking out the schedule at the "JetSet". It's a nice clean club, more mature crowd and best place to catch a live band. Usually gets packed on the weekends.

I agree with JetSet, I used to go there whenever I was in SD. If I am correct, they have the strongest rum and cokes of all the clubs and the loudest merengue. I remember dancing with someone and I had to yel in their face, they still couldn't hear me. Did you go there on your trip Techie? Haven't seen a report yet.
