except that it wasn't written by a Dominican about the DR...
Don't get me wrong. I love the song, particularly Fernandito's version from the Ni?o Mimado album, and have been known to crank it up and sing along (just ask those who attended the DR1 DC reunion party at my house a couple of years back!)....
This would be my choice as well. Though every time I think about the time I've spent in the DR, I hear "Ella y Yo" by Aventura and Don Omar playing in the background.
For me -
La Vida - Yoskar Sarante, my song for driving on rotten days in the UK!
Princessa - Frank Reyes, second thoughts, ANYTHING by Frank Reyes.
Un beso - Aventura
