What's Your Favorite Dominican Music Era?
For me, without a shadow of a doubt, the best Dominican music era was the 80's.

In my opinion, the Dominican Republic will never have so many talented musicians 'gathered' in a particular decade.

Back in the 80's, I thought there were more orquestas/combos than habitants, LOL, and hits after hits after hits were recorded.

Nowadays, you are lucky if you get 2-3 hits out of a recorded CD, back then, at leat 7-8 out of 10 songs, TO ME, were hits.

Alex Bueno, Carlos David, Johnny Ventura, Musiquito, Anibal Bravo, Rasputin, El Zafiro, Fernandito Villalona, Dioni Fernandez, Cuco Valoy, Ramon Orlando, Wilfrido Vargas, Las Chicas Del Can, Los Kenton, Sandy Reyes, Belkis Concepcion, Aramis Camilo y la Organizacion Secreta.......and the list goes on and on and on.

What's your favourite era?.....and do you remember some specific songs?.

Ditto here with the 80's. My favorite song is "Volveré", with "Jardinero" as a close second.

If our country wants to recover its dignity, it will necessarily have to cast aside the good-for-nothing and only-fit-for-mentally-challenged-people reguetón and rescue the good ole merengue back to its former glory.

"Volvere", by Ruby Perez, when he was with Wilfrido, right?.

What an AMAZING merengue version to that Chiquetete song.

I agree with you 100%.

Not only ragueton, don't forget that good-for-shitheads rap.

Me Three! You pretty much covered my favorites on the above statement.

RE: What's your favourite Dominican music era?
Now, I do agree you Papaupa y Flia., that the 80's (were) was when Merengue went world-wide;
It filled the void left by Salsa's plop, plop, fizz, fizz.....................

Check this out it is the epitome of the ERA:

Dios, Patria y Libertad.
Maranatha,
The King is coming.
