Hey there,
I've read and have been told about the (5?) different kinds of merengue. I'd like to get a better idea of this and attune my ear. Any suggestions of things to listen to? Which artists play what? If it's something on the internet, all the better!
Also, I know that abroad we only get the most commercialized and pop-y kinds of music from other places. I liked the bachata that I heard while in the DR better than the stuff I hear here in the US and have gotten on that track of listening (wow, different than Aventura & Alexandra y Monchy!), any similar hints for merengue -- I also liked the merengue I heard there more, perhaps for its greater diversity?
Thank you!!
