| | A History Of Merengue: Popular Music of the Dominican Republic - perico ripiao & merengue tipico |
| | Merengue is a Caribbean dance and music style in 2/4 time. | | | Merengue típico songs are generally composed in two parts. | | | The first section is rhythmically straightforward and is used to introduce the song's melodic and lyrical material; here, verses are sung and the only improvisation heard occurs at the end of song lines, when the accordion or saxophone fills in. |

| | Latin American Issues, Volume 13 -Section VI |
| | Like most merengues, the meter is 2/4 and the music is allegro or andante (Coopersmith 24-28). | | | Merengue, by then, was becoming vocal music that straddled worlds--European and American, urban and rural, and folk and cultured. | | | In this song, he defines himself as a musician who plays merengues, but more importantly he proudly sings that he is a lover of this musical form to the core of his being. |

| | Traditional, acoustic merengue is best-represented by the earliest recorded musicians, like Angel Viloria and Francisco Ulloa. | | | At the time of its development, merengue was attacked by newspapers and the upper-class, who preferred an older form of dance music called tumba. | | | Trujillo popularized the music, which moved to urban settings and added piano and brass instruments in large merengue orchestras. |

| | Singer Joseito Mateo, the "king of merengue", concurs; he pointed out to me in an interview that racias amalgamation naturally produces syncretic music: "Dominican whites and blacks had their own musics, just as in the United States the blacks have their own music. | | | That few Malagasies came to the Americas renders this etymology dubiou, but it is significant because it forgrounds what Fouchard, and most Haitians, consider the essentially African-derived nature of their music and national identity. | | | Whatever their differences, almost all of the origin theories point to connections between merengue and European-derived ballroom dance musics such as the danza. |
