Merengue de Calle / Domincan Mambo

Just blogged this: picked up a random mixtape in the DR (asked for
"como merengue con 'BASS'") the (new?) underground Dominican sound, soon to be incorporated into the pan-Latin hip-hop stew (already on the latest Tego album) -- MAMBO aka MERENGUE DE CALLE (street merengue). Sounds Casio-riffic, ultra-rhythmic, fast, dirty, AWESOME. International Booty Bass Heads, any info?

More Dominican/Carib flavors coming soon!
