Merengue Radio Stations

Merengue is a form of music and dance that is hugely popular in latin america and several of the united states major cities. Merengue emerged in the dominican republic during the mid 19th century as the countrys national music but it would later go on to become very popular in the united states in cities such as new york by the 1930s. Stylistically it is characterised by its fast paced arrangement and 2-4 beat with the instrumentation traditionally including a diatonic accordion, a two-sided tambora drum and the guira percussion instrument. More contemporary instrumental changes now include the additional use of the bass guitar, keyboards, saxaphone and other percussive instruments such as congas and timbales.
