Description
From rural roots in the Dominican Republic, merengue has grown to become a vibrant, ultra-modern Latin dance phenomenon conquering the hearts and feet of couples the world over.
The inimitable vocalist, activist, politician and all round granddaddy of modern merengue Johnny Ventura is still going strong after nearly five decades in the business. His medium-paced cooker 'El Mangú' features playful lyrics and is in the perico ripiao style. The Queen of Merengue Milly Quezada has had a lengthy career distinguished by Grammy-winning music of the highest calibre. Her sultry voice and playful sense of humour are showcased on 'Yo Soy Mujer Y No Soy Una Santa', where she proudly proclaims: 'I am a woman, not a saint'.
Enhanced Added Value: This CD contains a data track that includes music and travel from the Rough Guide books.
