Dominican Republic.- Merengue has shaped the Dominican's cheerful temperament. And although it would be necessary to demonstrate it with scientific studies, it could be affirmed that Dominicans are largely the result of merengue, because this musical genre is the sound of joy.

An example of this is what is experienced in Rincón Caliente de Guananico, Puerto Plata, where everything smells and tastes like typical meringue.

There you breathe joy, countryside, greenery and tradition. Also nostalgia, for the memories of great musicians of this genre who have left Guananico, turned into the cradle of the typical merengue in the Dominican Republic.
