Free Internet Radio - Merengue Radio - Classic Dominican Dance Music at Batanga

Merengue is a vibrant and joyful music from the Dominican Republic which originated during the 1920s. Its name literally means a frosting made of whipped eggs and sugar, but merengue, the music, means fun, party, family and above all baile. Merengueros often times sing of love, friendship, heartache and even sex. The richness of the music and simplicity of the dance make merengue quite popular with non-Latino cultures. The pure sensuality and intimacy of the dance moves make this genre a popular choice at parties and night clubs. This station offers a repertoire that ranges from traditional orchestras to more modern merengue boy bands. Listen to non-stop merengue hits from the Dominican Republic including merengue típico (aka perico ripiao), merengue de orquesta and merengue de guitarra. Dale pa’la pista porque esto sí ‘ta heavy!
