Puerto Rican Merengue o Dominican Merengue

[Ecuajey]

I don't care for the difference because I like neither, lol.

Well I went dancing last Friday...one week ago today! Boy oh boy....NO SALSA FOR ME! Only Merengue. I had so much fun, and my friend who I went with explained the different beats to me..so when different songs came on I payed closer attention to them. I had a lot of fun. Hopefully I can continue to practice with him.

I must concur with my esteemed colleagues on the superiority of Salsa over Merengue.

Why do i think that the merengue composed by Dominican's or "The Dominican merengue" (If there is suck a word) is better, well go to a club near you and the DJ's will prove me right. There are a few Dominican artists who have earned fame by using those "sexual connatation" yess i know just like hip hop does and well just like hip hop it sells, but it doesn't mean that all of them take the same approach for example: Ramon Orlando, Fernando villalona, Alex Bueno...plus the original is often imitated by never never duplicated.

THE TRUTH OF THE MATTER IS THAT THERE IS NO SUCH THING AS PUERTO RICAN MERENGUE, MEREGUE COMES FROM DOMINICAN REPUBLIC PERIOD, EVEN THOUGH THEY ARE SOME BORICUA MERENGUEROS. I AM NOT BEING BIAS BECAUSE I'M DOMINICAN, I LIKE SOME OF THE PUERTO RICAN MERENGUEROS LIKE MANNY MANUEL SOME OF ELVIS CRESPO'S SONGS AND THE OLD CANA BRAVA, ZONA ROJA, LOS SABROSOS, LA MAKINA, WHICH WERE ALL MANAGED AND PRODUCED BY DOMINICANS LIVING IN PUERTO RICO LIKE ORLANDO SANTANA, JOSSIE ESTEBAN, RINGO MARTINEZ AND MANY MORE. PUERTO RICAN BANDS LIKE GRUPO MANIA AND ALL THEIR COUNTERPARTS TRY TO SOUND LIKE LOS HERMANO ROSARIO'S RITMO BOMBA. TO BE HONEST I APRICIATE THAT PUERTO RICO HAS BROUGHT OUT MERENGUE BANDS ALSO THAT BORICUAS LIKE OUR MERENGUE AND FOR THAT I THANK PR ALOT. DOMINICAN MERENGUEROS PROVIDE THE SLOWER MORE LIRYCAL AND ROMANTIC MERENGUE OR THE UP BEAT DANCING KIND. RUBBY PEREZ, FERNANDO VILLALONA, RAFY MATIAS, SIN FRONTERAS, TONO ROSARIO, RIKARENA, LOS TOROS BAND, EDDY HERRERA THEY ALL DUE THE ROMANTIC MERENGUE BUT AT THE SAME TIME WE ALSO HAVE THE FAST MERENGUE BANDS LIKE LA BANDA GORDA, BANDA CHULA, ECT....THE POINT IS THAT THERE IS MORE THEN ENOUGH FACTS TO PROVE THAT MERENGUE IS ALL ABOUT DR. NO HATE TO MY BORICUA BROTHERS YOU GUYS HAVE SOME OF THE MOST TALENTED ARTIST LIKE ONE MY FAVORITES OF ALL TIME WHO I THINK IS BEST SALSERO AND ONE OF THE MOST ESSENTIAL LATIN ARTIST OF ALL TIMES, FRANKIE RUIZ THIS GUY REALLY KNEW HOW TO DO IT. I HOPE MY POSTING HERE HAS FINALIZED THIS DISSCUSION. THAK YOU AND MUCH LOVE TO MY DOMINICAN REPUBLIC AND TO ALL MY PUERTO RICAN BROTHERS AND SISTERS TAKE CARE AND HAVE A GOOD ONE AND REMEMBER WE ARE ALL THE SAME. CARIBEANS ARE THE BEST.
