SESSION HANDOUT Salsa & Merengue Mash Up
SESSION HANDOUT Salsa & Merengue Mash Up Walter Diaz (Wally) Presenter, USA SESSION HANDOUT Presenter Walter Diaz (Wally) Schedule 50 min: Theoretical explanation about all these fantastic rhythms and their influences. 70 min: Master Class, including the Warm Up and Cool Down. (Total: 2 hours) Session Objective The session will give ZIN Members valuable information and knowledge about Salsa and Merengue, thus providing participants with the tools to easily identify these rhythms and put them into practice. History & Background HISTORY OF MERENGUE Merengue is a style of music and dance originated in the Caribbean, specifically in the Dominican Republic in the early nineteenth century. Originally, the Merengue was interpreted with stringed instruments (guitars). Years later, the guitars were replaced by the Accordion along with the Guira and the Tambora (drum of two patches), the structure of the whole instrumental típico. This set, with three instruments, represents the synthesis of three cultures that shaped the flavor of the Dominican culture. European influence is represented by the Accordion, the African by the Tambora (drum of two patches), and the aboriginal by the Taino or Güira. Although in some areas of the Dominican Republic, especially in the Cibao, there are still typical sets, this has evolved throughout the twentieth century with the introduction of new instruments like the saxophone and later with the appearance of bands with complex wind sections. The origin of the word merengue goes back to colonial times and comes from the word Muserengue, the name given to dances among some African cultures. The Dominican Merengue genre has played a major role within the environment of Afro Caribbean. -

They address each other as “homey”, “bro” and “playboy”, in language and speech patterns most viewers would instantly recognize as those associated with urban African Americans. It is clear the two men have many commonalities and are friends, as they confess their emotional vulnerability to the intense passion they feel for the women they are courting. It is not until 45 seconds into the video, when the music begins, that a crucial distinction between the two becomes apparent : one of them sings in Spanish, the other in English ; the former is a Dominican Latino1, the other, African American.
