Platano Maduro


A merengue classic recommended to me about a year ago when I first began listening to (some) Dominican music. I find these types of merengue irresistible for their dark tones, prominent horns, pulsating rhythms, and catchy vocals. This song also shares the strong emphasis on the bass, like Gran Manzana's "Tus Besos." Indeed, perhaps the 1980s was the best decade for merengue music.
