'El Barbarazo" is one of my favorite merengues. I recall reading from Austerlitz's excellent book on merengue and some online forums about Wilfrido Vargas y Sus Beduinos. Clearly, Vargas was listening to music from elsewhere in the Caribbean, especially Haiti and Colombia. This song sounds like kompa of the 1970s in just about every way except for language. "El Barbarazo!"
