El merengue: de la nostalgia viral a conquistar nueva generaciones

For years, the merengue genre was discussed in the past tense, with critics asserting that it had lost ground to reggaeton, dembow, and other urban genres. Observers frequently claimed that the defining rhythm of the Dominican Republic belonged to an irrepetible era and that its survival relied solely on nostalgia.

However, recent trends indicate a shift in the genre's trajectory, moving the traditional rhythm from viral nostalgia to capturing new generations of listeners.
