Merengue
The Merengue, out of all the Dominican dances,
is the most widely dance on the island. This could be why it has become the National Dance of the Dominican Republic As to
the origin of the Merengue; it is still not clear as to where it came from. There are some opinions though as to its origin:
* It was an Alfonseca who invented the Merengue (according to Florida de ) * It was born
as a Dominican melody after the Dominican victory at the Talanquera Battle ( Rafael Vidal) * It seems that the Merengue comes
from a Cuban music called UPA, which had a part called the Merengue in it (Fradique Lizardo)
Nevertheless, there will always be new opinion as to it origin, but one thing that is know
for sure, is it was never mention prior to 1844, the year of Dominican Independence.
Since the beginning, the Merengue was played with instruments common people owned, Bandurrias,
tres, and Curto. By the end of the 19th century, the accordion replaced the Bandurrios in the Cibao Region. Today the Merengue
only survives in its traditional form in the rural areas of the island.
Originally, the Merengue was not accepted among the high-class people. Due to its strong
lyric content and the belief to it being relate to African music. Example:
All Cureo's* are from Santiago, and they have a good life in Santiago, and because of that
damn woman, I am from Santiago too! * Cureo- low dignity woman-prostitute
Regardless of the high class, the music was accepted by the majority of the people because
of its joyful spirit. During the dictatorship of Rafael Trujillo (1930-1961 when he was assassinated) the Merengue became
even more popular with the common people. Trujillo who came from peasant roots, promoted the Merengue as a symbol of national
expression and the culture of the underclass. Still high society would not accept the music until, Luis Alberti wrote a Merengue
son with decent lyrics "Compadre Pedro Juan. The song not only was accepted but also became a hit.
Dominicans are proud of their Merengue tradition, so much that the Dominican Folkloric Ballet
was created. Also, the Merengue is part of the Carnival and annual Merengue festival every July which draws thousands of people
to the Dominican Republic each year.
This restaurant serves Canadian-American style food at convenient prices. Breakfast is served from 7 AM. A self-serve pot
of coffee is set on each table and is included in the price. Rocky's "World Famous Ribs", Lemon Chicken, Shish-Kebabs, Steak
Filets, Pizzas, Kentucky Style Fried Chicken, Spaghetti, Submarines, Sandwiches, Salads and real Home Made Pies and Cakes
