Where are you looking to hire a Merengue Band?
Breaking the barrier between the Atlantic Ocean and the Caribbean Sea is a quaint island that is split between the Dominican Republic and Haiti. In addition to being a popular port of call for cruise ships, this island is also home of the Merengue. Re-popularized by the 1987 movie Dirty Dancing starring Patrick Swayze, Merengue music has a definite island feel. If you plan to include Merengue music at your event, be prepared to have a dance floor! Your crowd will instinctively want to get up and move. Typically, you'll find Merengue bands playing bass guitar, diatonic accordion, güira (a percussion instrument sounding similar to a maraca), guitar, saxophone and trumpet. Depending on their setup, Merengue bands might require a large stage presence. Although heavily influenced by the Cuban culture, Merengue music has a distinctive flavor that is immediately recognized. Search for bands in your local area now.
