Cumbia ] is a dance-oriented music genre popular throughout Latin America.
 It began as a courtship dance practiced among the African population on the Caribbean coasts of Colombia and Panama.
 It later mixed with Amerindian and European instruments, steps and musical characteristics and spread throughout Latin America and abroad.
 While other genres of Latin American music have remained associated with specific countries or regions, cumbia has grown to be one of the most widespread and unifying musical genres to emerge from Latin America.
Trio Reynoso also known as "The Kings of Merengue Tipico" are considered to be one of the best musical groups of perico ripiao or merengue tipico.
 Trio Reynoso was composed of singer/accordionist Pedro Reynoso, percussionist Francisco Esquea, singer and güira player Domingo Reynoso, and marimbero and güirero Milcíades Hernandez who is known as one of the best güireros of all time and they laid the foundations of a new local mainstream called bachata-merengue.
 They were considered the most popular Latin group during the Trujillo and Post-Trujillo era.
 They became a well-known group in parts of Latin America other than the Dominican Republic such as Cuba and Puerto Rico.
 After the death of Pedro Reynoso in July 18 of 1965, Trio Reynoso had to get a new accordionist and lead singer.
 In the end, it came out to be Tatico Henriquez, who in 1966, recorded his first song with the group called "Lo Que Tu Me Pidas".
 Some well notable songs that they have recorded were "Juana Mecho", "El Gallo Floreao", "Canto De Hacha", "Juanita Morel", "Alevántate", "Chanflin", "Mi Mujer De Oro", "Maria Luisa", "El Picoteao" and "La Lisa".
 Tatico Henriquez would go into the footsteps of Pedro Reynoso and become one of the greatest accordionists of the Merengue Típico genre.
 He is also the most popular artist of the merengue típico genre that has sold more records than any other artist in the history of Merengue Típico.
Breakbeat is a broad style of electronic or dance-oriented music which utilizes breaks, often sampled from earlier recordings in funk, jazz, and R&B, for the main rhythm.
 Breakbeats have been used in styles such as hip hop, jungle, drum and bass, hardcore, UK garage (including 2-step, breakstep and dubstep), and even pop and rock.
Meren(gue)house/Merenrap is a hip hop music style formed by blending Dominican merengue music with rap, dancehall reggae and hip hop.
 The group Proyecto Uno pioneered the genre.
 Merenhouse usually combines a rap style of singing (talk-singing) with actual singing.
 It has instruments that are typically in merengue music, such as saxophones, trumpets, accordion, bass, guitar, güira, tambora (drum).
 However, they can be combined with electronic sounds or even electronic sounds sampled from the actual instruments (musch like house music).
 Sampling music means to take a sample or portion of a sound recording to reuse it in a song.
 Merenhouse is very upbeat for dancing, like house music.
 It is hard to identify merenhouse based on its time signature and rhythm alone.
 Some merenhouse music is in a fast 2/4 beat and has typical merengue style rhythms.
 Some also is in a slower 4/4 beat, identifying more with the hip hop style.
 Merenhouse can be characterized mostly by the instruments/electronics used and the combination of vocal styles.
