World 1 source 1 country 🔦 Under-reported 22m ago

Merengue, the signature musical genre of the Dominican Republic, is experiencing a resurgence that challenges previous narratives of its decline. After years of being perceived as a fading relic overshadowed by the rise of reggaeton, dembow, and other urban genres, the rhythm is successfully attracting younger audiences.

This shift marks a departure from the long-standing belief that the genre's peak was confined to an unrepeatable era defined by its legendary figures. The current trend suggests that merengue is evolving from a source of viral nostalgia into a contemporary force capable of maintaining relevance in a modern musical landscape.
