The Dominican Republic (Spanish: República Dominicana) is a nation on the island of Hispaniola, part of the Greater Antilles archipelago in the Caribbean region. The culture and people of the Dominican Republic, like its Spanish Caribbean neighbors, is a blend of the cultures of the Spanish colonists, African slaves, and Taíno natives. European.
Many Arawak/Taíno names and words are used in daily conversation and for many foods native to the Dominican Republic.Dominican cuisine is predominantly Spanish, Taíno, and African. The typical cuisine is quite similar to what can be found in other Latin American countries, but many of the names of dishes are different.
Musically, the Dominican Republic is known for the creation of the musical style called merengue but it has also created ``Bachata``, a form of music and dance that originated in the countryside and rural marginal neighborhoods of the Dominican Republic and which has become quite popular in recent years. Its subjects are often romantic; especially prevalent are tales of heartbreak and sadness. In fact, the original name for the genre was amargue ("bitterness", or "bitter music", or blues music), until the rather ambiguous (and mood-neutral) term bachata became popular. Bachata grew out of, and is still closely related to, the pan-Latin American romantic style called bolero. Over time, it has been influenced by merengue and by a variety of Latin American guitar styles.
The Dominican Republic is mostly adequate for those who just want to unplugg themselves from daily stress and just relax. In the Dominican Republic even if you wont find the stress from the big citys you will still find the luxury one desires.
So dear friends ...enjoy the crystal clear water and do send us a postcard when you get there . We love Dominican Republic.
