Merengue President


Who would've thought that the president of merengue would be from the Congo, and not the Dominican Republic. From what I've found out online, Nico believed his electric guitar sounded like the accordion in older Dominican merengue records available in the Heart of Africa. And yes, it does kinda sound like Dominican merengue, even if Congolese music owes much more to Cuban son.
