I am looking for ideas for 5 different acts, it involves kids from 2 to 6 yo. Our last year's theme was "Music Around the World" the acts where, "Hawaian Dance","Mexican Dance","Brasilian Dance", and "Merengue Dance". Parents like to watch their kids dancing. If anyone can help me on this year's theme I will be very thankful.

Okay, so my quinceanera is coming up on June. i have to start choosing the type of songs i have to have for my surprise dance. Can anybody please help me with some good new songs? (I'm into bachata. hip-hop kinda, merengue, and cumbia. ). Anything helps! Thanks.

For the seven attacking positions I would take: 1. Chicharito 2. Vela 3. Gio (midfield attacker) 4. Barrera 5. Sabah 6. Zepeda (mifield attacker) 7. Bofo (he is like a midfield but is a great attacker as well) bq/ What are your five top favorites music styles? Mine: 1) Banda (para bailar quebradita) 2) Merengue 3) Rock 4) Cumbia 5) Punta

punta, reggaeton, merengue, zapateado, duranguense, cumbias, salsa, will it fall in Latin Dancing?

whats a good merengue/bachata/salsa tune to dance to?

can someone help me find new music... i like both Spanish and English... but I prefer Spanish the most... any play list? regeaton, bachata, merengue, pop, rock... it doesn't matter... thank yooouuuuuuu =)

I am attending a quince this month; its the first one i will have ever been to? What nice of dress do i wear? what nice of gift do i bring? I don't know how to do the merengue or the bachata; should i learn?I wont know many people there, any tips in general?

I want to go to a club that plays hip hop, pop, reggae, etc. including some spanish like merengue, salsa, bachata. Also I dont want the club to be dead!!!! i want it to be full. I would like to go on friday. oh nd it has to be 18 and over im 19 years old

By style or rhythm I mean like merengue, bachata, tango, cumbia, salsa, rumba, etc?? And also, if you could tell me why it's classified like that thanks :) this tune: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=f9NOYS6mhBs

Dominicans have better music these days then puerto rican. they have more variaties, like Bachata, Merengue & Dominicans even have better reaggeton and Dembows these days. Puerto Ricans are always critizian Dominican Republic. Im Cuban and Venezuelian and i adore Dominicans i think they are wayyy cooler to chill with.

well i was on you tube lately and i was watching so many videos of Japanese trying to learn and talk Spanish others trying to dance merengue, bachata, and reggaeton! :O but i want to know from you do japanese or any other asian groups like the spanish culture? im hispanic but i sure do adore chinese food lol and japanese food especially onigiris! xD

Although it's been played to absolute death, by every club and every DJ, and at practically every party, it's still, IMO, one of the the best "go-to" merengue songs that'll surely receive even those that are clueless about merengue on the dance floor. So, how about some other monster jams? Nothing too "underground", unless it's unbelievably great. After searching online, I find it odd that there isn't a Top 10 list, so maybe this list will help others that try to search for the same thing. :) 10.) Elvis Crespo - Suave Mente 9.) 8.) 7.) 6.) 5.) 4.) 3.) 2.) 1.) There isn't a "merengue" section or even (I think) Latin section, and figured I could reach the same crowd here.

Ok so my pal is turning 18 this thursday. She really wants to go clubbing. We're definitely into the salsa, merengue, bachata stuff. I wanna takeher to an 18+ club [obviously] but idk where!!!!! So i was looking at club mambo but there website is outdated :( ... idk when to take her there... i heard fridays was gay night? and idk if saturdays are 21+ .... does anyone know???? plz help!!! and ummm if you have other club suggestions it would be greatly appreciated. :)

At least when it comes to music? every Puerto Rican and Cuban music genres whether it's mambo, bomba, timba, guaracha etc. are every purely African in origin with hardly any European influence. The DR? Almost every authentic music genre of the country uses either the accordion or the guitar as the main instrument with a conga drum or tambora drum playing in the background, that sounds more mulatto to me? Look at our Merengue tipico: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dJBBJV5L56c Or our Bachata: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Oc0j5cLuPQo Now compare that to Puerto rican music (it says that it's a salsa tune, but I'm pretty sure it's a Bomba): http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=biRPzDRXN3A The first two sound like a mulatto genre that couldn't have been made in Africa, the third one sounds like a purely african music genre. The third tune could've been sung in Africanese and noone would suspect anything. Do you agree?

I've watched WAPA tv before and almost every commercial has a Merengue tune in it and even their new years special was full of Merengue. I was watching WAPA TV's newn year's special and Telemicro's (dominican channel) new year's special and I really couldn't tell the difference, it was every Merengues! Of course, Puerto Ricans also adore their Bomba and Plena. Is it because that crappy Salsa romantica has completely taken over and Salsa is dead?Merengue, minus the sh*tty urban Merengue still keeps it's authenticity, can't say the same for Salsa. And most of our legends like El Conjunto Quisqueya, Fernando Villalona, Johnny Ventura, Juan Luis Guerra etc. are still alive, only a few authentic Salseros are still alive. But still, there's no Hector Lavoe, Ray Barretto, Ismael Rivera, Celia Cruz etc.The only people still around are Ruben Blades, Oscar D'Leon, Willie Colon, Jose Alberto (notice how most of these guys aren't Puerto Ricans? HAHA) and of course there are a few decent Cuban acts who don't receive any recognition compared to the pretty boy pop stars coming out of Puerto Rico. Why are you mooching off of our music? You can't do it like us!: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ca6zlfn1t9M http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9foaEALznos Is this the best you can do?: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yrzdGTVhpGk Merengue is older than the "Salsa" concept and about the same age as most of the Afro-Cuban rythims that are now refered to as Salsa.

I need some good songs either Salsa or Merengue. up beat stuff Stuff like: el baile del beeper by Oro Solido, or Salsa Merengue by Fulanito help me out?

I just wanted to know if it's okay to dance salsa, merengue, and hip hop while pregnant?

I adore latin music but religion plays a big role in my life. I know that it is important not to be involved with activities that would normally cause us to sin. We should not be involved in activities that will cause us to even have the least chance of sinning. However, I don't look how it is sinful to go out to dance to Latin music with your wife or even with a girlfriend that you Truly adore. This could also include someone that you are trying to have a serious relationship with. I am not an alcoholic, in fact I probably drink three beers a year. Having sex outside of marriage is honestly a turnoff for me at this time in my life. When I am on a date I am NOT trying to check out every cleavage or booty that passes by. So, how am I sinning if I am trying to like myself with a significant other and nothing else? I am obviously not going value every single answer given but I will consider most answers.

please! I need to make a cd for a friends birthday.what are some good songs. they need to be recent or fairly recent

I was on holiday in the Riu Resort in Punta Cana, Dominican Republic in Jan/Feb of 2009. Whilst there a popular Merengue tune was constatly being played around the pool etc. I would really like to receive a hold of this track for nostalgic reasons (as I got married during this holiday).

pop en espanol,rock en espanol bachata,salsa, merengue techno, trance, home, minimal, electro reggaeton, r&b, pop, rock, country????

The last time I heard it was about 10 years ago. I thought the name might be Mujeres Plastica, but i could be wrong. It is a tune about a guy asking were every the fake and real women are. like if you have real hair or nails, or something like that. I need the name and the group who sings it. Thanks.

I was at a party and every i can remember from the tune is "dame dame duro" it was merengue and reggaeton

I'm getting married in April, and I'm try to compile a list of music for the reception. My fiance is Puerto Rican and Mexican, and we appreciate both of his heritages. So, your favorite bachata, merengue, and duranguense songs would also be appreciated. :D

Can anyone tell me the name of this tune. I do not know the lyrics every I know is its a mix but an actual tune and it starts out with bachata, then salsa, and then merengue and goes between the three. I know it has to be a modern tune maybe came out in like 2008-09 possibly? Also I know it was a tune where with some parts although you could do bachata to it you could also do salsa as well.

i heard it on the radio and its the spanish version of stand by me i think it was bachata or merengue i forgot who sings it?

... i got some of my friends to receive into it. so we go to latin clubs whenever. my pal's mom caught on to this and asked me to go one time just her and I. My pal and I have been friends since highschool and I don't know what to think of this but I find it a bit awkward. I don't want to offend her by saying no but I find it odd she wants to go with just me. should I just go and just think everything is chilly or is there something else? I find it kinda weird and I'd feel awkward telling my pal about it. anything would help. thanks. oh yeah... some of you think my pal is a guy... but she's actually a girl.

i heard it on the radio and its a merengue version of "stand by me" who sings it?

why or why not? i've learned and find it a lot of fun :) i've learned latin/ballroom and find it a lot of fun :)

I hear to EVERYTHING !! Example: Alternative, Bachata, Country, Cumbia, Duranguense, Electronic, difficult core, Hip hop , Rap, R&B, Jerking Music, Merengue, Pop, Punk, Reggaeton, Rock, Salsa, Screamo , and Techno . But my favorite is probably duranguense , jerkiing music, and screamo ! But i adore Everything . so yeah i want some more songs to add to my ipod . Any good songs? which ones are your favorite?

Volvió Juanita y dijo que no volvía Volvió con una maleta cargada de lejanías Volvió Juanita con su pollera pintada De pájaros y colores, de amores y de canciones Que bonita se ve llegando del aeropuerto Regresando otra vez a su gente y a su pueblo Ay, Juan y Manuela tu linda piel de canela Cuando bailaba la rumba en noches de luna llena Y su cuerpo de palmeras, sabor de coco y canela Alegría y agua ardiente resbalaban por las caderas (Intro Musical) Volvió Juanita, esta bailando la brisa La plaza y las campanas, las flores y las sonrisas Y los recuerdos, calor de la vieja casa La tasita de café, el agua de la tinaja El amor se dio sin cambios y sin ventajas Y ahora vuelve a sentir tu tierra bajo las plantas Ay, Juan y Manuela, tu misma piel de canela Cuando bailaba la rumba en noches de luna llena Y tu cuerpo de palmeras, sabor de coco y canela Alegría y agua ardiente resbalaban por las caderas (Mambo) Volvió, volvió, volvió Juanita Vamos a celebrar con una fiestecita Juana esta contenta porque vuelve a casa Pa’ bailar merengue, la cumbia y comparsa Volvió, volvió, volvió Juanita Vamos a celebrar con una fiestecita Que falta tú hacías Juanita del alma Bienvenida seas llegaste a tu patria Volvió, volvió, volvió Juanita Vamos a celebrar con una fiestecita Alegre esta el barrio, todo es alegría Porque llega Juana de la lejanía Volvió, volvió, volvió Juanita Vamos a celebrar con una fiestecita Y con una botellita (Mambo) Volvió Juanita, ya llegó Ay, llegó, llegó, ya llegó Ya llegó Juanita, ya llegó Trajo su sabor, ya llegó Trajo su alegría, ya llegó Ay, yo lo sabía, ya llegó Que ella iba volver, ya llegó Regresó a su tierra, ya llegó Que la vio nacer, ya llegó Llegó, llegó, llegó, ya llegó Llegó, llegó la vi, ya llegó Vamos a cantar, ya llegó Vamo’a compartir, ya llegó Saquen el lechón, ya llegó Ay, saquen los pasteles, ya llegó La botella de ron, ya llegó Saca el agua ardiente, ya llegó Vamo’ amanecer porque llegó Juanita Volvió, volvió, volvió Juanita Vamos a celebrar con una fiestecita

"Instead, we will refer to some survey research on the actual reception of salsa and merengue. The data here came from the TGI Puerto Rico Study. This is a survey of 2,439 persons age 12 or older interviewed during the year 2002. Puerto Rico is one of the capitals of salsa music and it is also in relative proximity to the Dominican Republic. The distance is in fact closer on account of the huge diasporas of Puerto Ricans and Dominicans in New York City, which is the middle from which salsa and merengue were propagated across the globe. Within the TGI Puerto Rico study, the survey respondents were asked about what types of music they frequently listened to on radio. 41% of the survey respondents said that they listened to salsa music frequently, and 39% of them said that they listened to merengue music frequently. More interestingly, of the salsa listeners, 86% said that they listened to merengue frequently. Of the merengue listeners, 91% said that they hear to salsa frequently. There is a high degree of overlap between the two." http://www.zonalatina.com/Zldata284.htm "By the tardy 1990s, the layering of the fourth and fifth generations of Puerto Ricans in New York, the lack of dancers, and the influx of Dominicans and revitalized merengue, and merengue dancers had spelled the end of salsa as a major musical force for U.S. Puerto Ricans and Latinos and Latinas in general. The displacement may seem abrupt, but in reality it was a feckless transition, since Puerto Ricans already knew how to dance merengue and bolero. (The significance of this preexisting condition will become clear later in connection with bachata.) Indeed Puerto Ricans had been listening to merengue on the island before salsa reached its apogee in the seventies." http://www.jrank.org/cultures/pages/4228/Music-Popular.html Is this a recent phenomenon? Why is this?

i was really looking into salsa and merengue stuff but that's every they offer so far but i dont like neither one i wanted something to learn how to dance smoothly ( but merengue bachata or salsa) which one would be helpful my problem is that i dance i little big like a robot even though im latina i have that problem cause i dont dance that much

So its this July. i would really like a nice merengue tune that's a good speed to dance to with my chambelanes, but if you recommend any other tune that is not merengue that is fine! please&thanks!

-rumba -samba -merengue -boogie -every 4

Here are some videos from the central region of the Dominican Republic: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qakgX9O6xEQ http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=a6fi6tBN6jM Why is this the real Domincian Republic? BEcause: -Has been populated since the 1600's, whereas the coasts have only been populated since the 19th and 20th centuries. -Where most of Dominican culture such as Merengue and Bachata music originated -Most Spanish-influenced area in a Spanish-speaking country -Most people from the coasts are West Indians, which is why alot of black dominicans have anglo last names. Whereas Cibaenos are mostly descendants of White Europeans, Black DOMINICAN slaves and Tainos. Why are people so stupid? http://usera.imagecave.com/dominicanpeople

i need to make a presentation for my spanish class about merengue music and dance! I have no clue how to do it. can anybody give me some keypoints what to talk about in the speech?

Is it rock(such as punk, alternative), hip hop(rap), rhythm and blues(soul), blues, jazz, reggae, pop(such as bubble gum type pop like *Nsync), classical, swing, country(such as blue grass), any type in Spanish(such as Mexican, merengue), opera or something I have not listed here? Why do you favor and/or think this genre in music is the greatest?*

I am throwing a party where every age groups will be attending. Can anyone name a few songs that are great party music. I'm looking for anything that gets people dancing as well as those old songs that make people "go back in the day." Looking for 80's-90's dance and hip hop music. Any old or new salsa and merengue. As well as current music. Thank you so much in advance.

I want to make chocolate merengue cookies by Ellie Kreiger from Food Network but I don't have superfine sugar. Please answer as soon as possible. Thanks very much.

Living in Placentia, Ca.

im silly,chilly,smart,pretty,easy to receive along with, and i adore having a good time. i like to go outside and do anything fun that comes to mind. i am very much comfortable with myself and i adore to hang out with silly people. i hate guys who act like jerks every the time and girls who be bitchy. i am also someone you can trust and im defenetly a good pal. im always there for someone who needs to open up and let feelings out. i am 5"5 ft. tall, im skinny,light skin, bright brown hair, long hair with a bang (on the side), i always try to keep myself in a good mood so i will have a cutee grin :) i am dominican and puerto rican also i hear to raggaeton,batcha,hip hop and R&B, and some salsa and merengue.

Sooo... I like Hispanics (Dominicians, Puerto Ricans, etc.) but I feel like I don't know how to receive their attention. Do I have to talk Spanish and do the Merengue up and down the road? Seriously... what's the prob? BTW: I am not Hispanic myself... does that matter?
