In Cuba, the hillbilly and the farmer or rural peasant is called guaj?ro. In Puerto Rico he is called j?baro. What are they called in the Dominican Republic?

Bartolomeo67 said:Further expanding on the original post, in Cuba they call guajiros or campo people who have migrated to the big city Havana: PALESTINOS, because of their campo way of speaking, walking, dressing, etc.
Do dominicans have a similar word for people from the campo that moved to the capital?

Hillbilly said:The "j?baro" , made famous by the song in Puerto Rico...comes from the fact that when large numbers of blacks from Africa were brought into Puerto Rico, a large number of the "Criollo" population took to the hills, how true or not this is, I just don't know.
