A Note From KL in NYC:
These tracks are more 1950s-style, and it’s still possible to do the traditional Merengue step when dancing to them (really easy steps).
The later merengues, especially the ones in the 1990s, are more melodic but very, very fast — it’s only possible to step to them when dancing (left-right-left-right).
We have a lot of immigration from The Dominican Republic and Colombia, so Merengue and Cumbia are still popular Latin musical styles here.
I remember when you posted about taking swing dance lessons, so I figured I’d tell you the dance part of it (It’s one of the easiest Latin dances to do besides The Pachata). There are probably examples on YouTube, or whatever equivalent you have in Europe. …
Maybe you should ask your girlfriend to do the research on it to keep her busy so she won’t tease you about buying records
