I consider this CD as barely of Dominican nature, musically. Although the Cd is composed of Dominican artist, it seems that only rythms other than Dominican folklore were selected for this album. The only artist that artistically represents a pure Dominican rythm is Chi Chi peralta, Fernando Echavarria and him are the originators and creators of the "Meren-son" a mxture of merengue and Dominican son. Basically, all the songs are not purely of Dominican nature, they are mixture of rythms, all influenced entirely by cuban music. To better understand Dominican music, I would advise you to listen to the following artists:**Juan Luis Guerra(merengue & Bachata)*Sergio Vargas(merengue)Jossie Esteban(merengue);(the older the CD, the better he is)*Los hermanos Rosario(merengue)*Johnny Ventura(merengue)*Luis Vargas(Bachata)*Luis Segura(Bachata)Anthony Santos(Bachata)These are just a few artist that you will fall in love with.
