Dominican music mainly focuses on the so called "bachata", a particular style of Cuban music featuring intense African percussion, wily ringing guitar, and exotic Iberian-flavored melody. Putumayo brings a fresh and exciting sound to fans of Afro-pop, Cuban, and various Latin music. The Dominican son is closely related to Cuban son, but has a more bouncy rhythm and uses unique melodies and song structures, and many locals claim that the 'son' is of Dominican origin and was brought to Cuba by Dominican immigrants. Enjoy a great album with the known putumayo quality.
