It depends how much of a merengue connoisseur you are. El Prodigio's music is merengue t?pico which is no comparison to Fernandito Villalona. Two very different styles of merengue. Personally, I love merengue t?pico when I go out dancing but rarely would play it at home. However, you seem open minded so capitalize on the opportunity and sample it for yourself. Just my opinion.

That's El Prodigio! His website is still under construction but I will include the link anyway for those who are interested. Keep it in your favorites and soon it will be complete.

Do you like his music? I am just curious.

haha, I didn't know who he was when I was taking the photos, but my friends from the University sure knew him. I am starting to enjoy his music now, haha, "I guess better late than never"
