As a Latina, it is very likely that I will have about ten family reunions in one year. At these reunions, imagine several Dominican dishes, drunk uncles letting loose, and most importantly, the loud music that doesn't seem to stop relatives from talking to each other. Although I do really love food, especially Dominican food, I love the music because it brings everyone together. I feel like as if we were born with the ability to move our hips to any beat of music. I could be wrong, but I have yet to meet a Dominican or a Latina who cannot dance to our music.
The most common music that we listen and dance to are listed below:
Bachata
Salsa
Merengue
Reggaeton
Perico Ripiao
In the photo below, the traditional merengue in The Dominican Republic is captured. Although these flamboyant outfits are not worn as often, the tradition of merengue is still forever in our hearts.
