Music
Another thing that's cool abut the Dominican Republic is the music. The Dominican Republic's music is mainly influenced by West African and European (mainly Spanish) traditions. This country is primarily known for it's Merengue and Bachata music. Merengue is a moderate to fast paced kind of music. It's often times played on the accordion, but more modern day Merengue is played on electric instruments. Bachata music is mainly played on guitar. It is played through lots of Dominican society. It's usually accompanied by bongos.
