Mount Redonda

delaMar.

Rincón Beach

Rincón Beach is about 3 kilometers long and has a beautiful landscape of palm trees, soft, almost white sand and colorful water for swimming. The creek at the western end of the beach is also ideal for splashing around.

Galeras. The last 1.5 kilometers to the beach are dirt roads, but they are passable by car, except in rainy weather.

One bad thing about this place, though: there's too much trash and no one to clean it up.

Music and Dance

Merengue

Merengue is a Dominican dance specialty. From the time you arrive until you leave, the loud volume of merengue will echo in your ears. This dance music is very rhythmic, in 2/4 or 4/4 time, and fully reflects the Dominicans' dancing talent.

But what makes merengue distinctive is the use of traditional instruments and their ensemble playing within a 2 or 4 beat structure.

The instruments typically used include a double-sided drum called a tambora, guitars, a small pedal organ, and the "güira" - a metal instrument that resembles a cheese grater and uses metal or plastic rods to scrape sound. plastic rods are scraped to produce sound.

Bachata

Merengue is city music, but bachata is "country" music, about love and heartbreak in the backwoods, and was born in the mid-20th century in the poorest regions of the country to soothing, romantic melodies played on the Spanish guitar. Soothing and romantic melodies.

The word bachata originally referred to the casual, sometimes vulgar backyard parties in rural areas, and was later played in the humble bars of Santo Domingo.

Salsa

Salsa, which originated as a Cuban dance, is widespread in the Caribbean and even more popular in the Dominican Republic.

In the mid-1960s, Dominican flutist, composer and musician Johnny

Pacheco founded the company Fania, which specializes in recording this "tropical Latin" music.

Reggie Shield and rap

Local rappers have also successfully incorporated elements of dance music such as bachata and merengue.
