This music has also has had a great persecution in all the world. Many people can understand the Latin culture just by following the rhythm and hearing the lyrics.
All social classes hear this, we could say that music in one way unify a society that is socially very separated.
Merengue is always the first dance in all Dominicans wedding, it doesn’t matter if you are the president daughter or if you are a lifeguard daughter.
